Report: Vikings won't cut Adrian Peterson, considering trade

The Minnesota Vikings reportedly won't release Adrian Peterson in response to charges of physically abusing his four-year-old son, but that doesn't mean his days in purple aren't numbered.

Sources of the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch suggest the Vikings will explore trade options to shed the All-Pro runner, but it's a "certainty" he won't be cut outright.

A trade, however, is easier said than done. Minnesota will have to find a willing trading partner to take on both the stigma and the more than $60 million remaining on his current deal.

It remains hearsay for now, but the Vikings will end the speculation circling this horrifying situation Monday.
