Redskins Re-Signing RB Adrian Peterson To Two-Year, $8M Deal

Update:

The Washington Redskins announced Monday that they’ve officially re-signed veteran RB Adrian Peterson to a two-year contract. 


Josina Anderson spoke with veteran RB Adrian Peterson, who told her he plans to sign a new two-year contract with the Redskins.

According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, the deal is two years and worth $8 million.

“I am going back to the Redskins. It will be a 2-year deal. I feel like we made some good moves to get to where we are trying to go,” Peterson said. 

Peterson, 33, signed a one-year contract worth the veteran minimum of $1.015 million with the Redskins this season.  He ran for 1042 yards on 251 carries with seven touchdowns and added 20 catches for 208 yards and one touchdown.

Peterson is a former first-round pick of the Vikings back in 2007. After 10 seasons in Minnesota, Peterson signed a two-year, $7 million contract with the Saints and stands to make base salaries of $1 million and $1.05 million over the next two years.

The Saints elected to trade Peterson to the Cardinals for a 2018 sixth-round pick back in 2017. However, Arizona cut him loose last March and he eventually signed on with the Redskins. 

In 2018, Peterson appeared in all 16 games for the Redskins and rushed for 1,042 yards on 251 carries (4.2 YPC) to go along with 20 receptions for 208 yards receiving and eight touchdowns.
