Peterson has not requested a trade from the Vikings nor has Minnesota asked him to take a pay cut from the $12.75 salary he's set to make this season, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Analysis:

Since the end of the regular season, Vikings management has said they want Peterson to return to the team in 2015. However, he recently said he's uneasy with a return to the team since some in the organization didn't support him when he was suspended last fall. Many thought before management's recent comments that the team would ask him to take a pay cut, trade him or release him since he's the highest-paid running back in the league and turning 30 next month. Peterson was suspended for the season in November after he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of reckless assault for disciplining his child with a switch and can't be reinstated until Apr. 15. It's still not clear at this point if he'll return to the Vikings, but neither side is saying he won't return at his current salary at this point.
