Adrian Peterson back with Redskins on 2-year deal

The #Redskins are re-signing RB Adrian Peterson to a 2-year deal worth $8M, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. His career resurgence continues in Washington.

Adrian Peterson is back in the building for the Washington Redskins.

A late addition to the team last season after Derrius Guice went down for the season in an exhibition, Peterson ran for 1,042 yards and seven touchdowns on a 4.2 per-carry average over 16 games.

Now 33 years old, Peterson didn’t figure to want to change teams again at this stage of his career. Washington’s run-heavy approach was perfect for his skill set.

Next season, Peterson will be asked to share the load with Guice and Chris Thompson. That running game will have to carry an offense led by either Case Keenum or possibly a rookie.

Peterson himself commented on the new agreement:

RB Adrian Peterson just called me and told me "I am going back to the #Redskins. It will be a 2-year deal. I feel like we made some good moves to get to where we are trying to go."
