Report: Peterson sees Raiders, Seahawks as desirable landing spots

Brad Rempel / USA TODAY Sports

Free-agent running back Adrian Peterson views the Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks as desirable teams to sign with, a source told NFL Network's Stacey Dales.

Peterson spent four seasons under offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, now with Seattle, from 2007-10, rushing for at least 1,298 yards in each campaign.

As for Oakland, Peterson is intrigued by the Raiders' strength in one particular area.

"What we personally like about the Raiders is the offensive line," Peterson's father told Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "They haven’t been playing around."

While Peterson reportedly hasn't drawn much interest from teams, he is also open to joining the New England Patriots at a discount if they want him back.

The Minnesota Vikings declined Peterson's contract option last week after 10 seasons with the team. He missed 13 games in 2016 with a meniscus injury. The Vikings have said they are open to re-signing Peterson, but did not want him on the roster carrying the $18-million cap hit that his previous contract included.
