While Adrian Peterson has stayed relatively quiet this offseason regarding his future with the Vikings, his agent, Ben Dogra, has been very open about his desire to get his client out of Minnesota.
Dogra posted a cryptic Facebook photo of himself wearing a Tampa Bay Buccaneers hat with Peterson jerseys behind him on Monday. The caption reads, "Game on!"

So, what does this all mean? Is Dogra hinting at a possible trade between the Vikings and Buccaneers?
As Steve DelVecchio of Larry Brown Sports points out, Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy is among Dogra's clients. The Bucs also open their preseason against the Vikings, so perhaps he's just excited about the game.
Dogra also posted these photos to his open Facebook account:
Hmmmm. Curious what this means. pic.twitter.com/C2g87Z2ktb

Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported Monday that if the Vikings don't trade Peterson before or during the draft, they're going to keep him for the 2015 season.
The Bucs, Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars and San Diego Chargers are all in the mix for Peterson, one source told Tomasson.
