CelebNSports247.com reports that the Washington Football Team released running back Adrian Peterson, which could signal the end of his NFL career.
Adrian Peterson spent the past two years with Washington, leading the team in rushing over that time with 1,940 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Adrian has rushed for 14,216 yards, trailing Barry Sanders by 1,053 yards for fourth place on the NFL’s career list. Peterson ranks fourth with 111 rushing touchdowns.
Washington wants to grow its roster with a young team.
Peterson is 35 years old and considered a power runner. The team has four other running backs (Antonio Gibson, 22, Peyton Barber, 26, Bryce Love, 23, and J.D. McKissic, 27), all younger and all capable of helping in both the running and passing games.
After spending 10 seasons in Minnesota, Peterson recently called Washington his “second home.” He said he liked how fans embraced him.
Peterson closed out saying:
God willing, it’ll be five more years.
