Peterson's agent had to be separated from a member of the Vikings' front office during a heated argument at last week's NFL scouting combine and made it clear his client would never play for the team again, CBSSports.com reports. However, Peterson's father denies the report that he no longer wants to play for the Vikings, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Analysis:

Neither Peterson, his agent nor the Vikings have commented on the reported incident. It's becoming a daily soap opera whether Peterson will return to the Vikings in 2015. 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, and this incident may indicate those concerns are prohibitive from him returning. 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.
