Vikings running back Adrian Peterson took in Tuesday night’s Dallas Mavericks-Houston Rockets playoff game. And with two Texas teams squaring off and media in attendance, the subject of Peterson playing in Dallas was broached.
According to Mike Leslie of WFAA-TV, Peterson said that being in Dallas “would be nice.”
Said Peterson, according to Leslie: “I’ve got family here, my dad’s here. But I’m under contract, so we’ll see.”
Peterson grew up in Palestine, Texas, which is about 120 miles southeast of Dallas.
However, as Peterson noted in another interview, he doesn’t have any say on where he plays at the moment.
“It’s out of my hands,” Peterson told Guy Rawlings of KTVT-TV in Dallas.
In both their words and in their seeming lack of action, the Vikings do not appear inclined to have Peterson play for anyone but them in 2015. Also, the subject of Peterson being intrigued by playing in his home state isn’t brand new territory. For the time being, it appears any Texas talk is simply hypothetical.
