Redskins have reportedly had contract talks with Adrian Peterson

The Washington Redskins seem to know keeping Adrian Peterson next season is a great idea.

Peterson, 33 years old or not, has made it clear he wants to keep playing. For the Redskins, it only makes sense to grant him that chance.

According to ESPN’s John Keim, discussions have already happened: “It also means adding a consistent blocker at tight end and finding a way to keep running back Adrian Peterson around. There have been preliminary talks with Peterson.”

The Redskins don’t risk much by getting Peterson back under contract. There is a huge question under center going into next season and while the team has Derrius Guice, both he and Chris Thompson are coming off injuries.

Peterson joined the team late in the process a year ago and still rattled off a 1,000-yard campaign while serving as the centerpiece of the offense.
