Adrian Peterson was a surprise cut by Washington over the weekend.<\/p>\n
It didnt take long for the future Hall of Famer to find a new team. Per multiple reports, Peterson is set to sign with the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n
On paper, it seems like an odd fit considering the Lions already have Kerryon Johnson and DAndre Swift, a player they just drafted in the second round.<\/p>\n
Peterson spent the last two seasons with Washington after a brief stint with the Saints and Cardinals. Of course, we all will remember Peterson for his time with the Vikings from 2007-2016.<\/p>\n
Now, hell face off the Vikings twice in 2020: Nov. 8 at U.S. Bank Stadium and Jan. 3 in Detroit.<\/p>\n
Peterson, 35, has 14,216 career rushing yards, a mark that ranks fifth in NFL history. He needs 1,054 rushing yards to pass Barry Sanders to move to fourth. Given Detroits crowded backfield, that seems extremely unlikely.<\/p>\n
Then again, Peterson has ran for a combined 1,940 over the last two seasons with Washington.<\/p>\n
