Adrian Peterson NFL Player rant makes him look worse and vents on Twitter about honoring contract.

            Adrian Peterson looks even worse

Adrian Peterson is an all-time great football player, but he's not coming off well this offseason.

For some reason Peterson thinks that his 2014, with only one game played because of a messy legal situation that involved injuring his young son when he disciplined him with a switch, should lead to the Vikings giving him more guaranteed money. Which is crazy. Much crazier than his request to be traded, actually.  

Peterson took to Twitter to try to set the record straight, with a long series of tweets.

In general, Peterson is right. NFL players should get as much as they can when they can get it. Their careers are short and they play a dangerous game. So when a player has leverage, take advantage of
it.

To repeat: When. A. Player. Has. Leverage. Peterson has none right now.

 

 It this all unfair? In Peterson's case ... no. He missed most of last year because he got in legal trouble, and whether you think he got a raw deal or if he didn't get punished enough, I think we can all agree he didn't do anything over the past year to earn $14.75 million more in guaranteed money. Peterson has acted like a victim through his whole ordeal. It's a bit odd.

UPDATE: But wait, there's more! Peterson returned later on Thursday night to say that all of this is just because he is frustrated that the union could not get guaranteed contracts four years ago when it negotiated the CBA. Huh.
