The Minnesota Vikings informed running back Adrian Peterson on Wednesday that they would not be cutting him from their roster.
While there have been no public demands for a release or a trade, it is expected that Peterson will remain in Minnesota ahead of the new season.
The 29-year-old hosted coach Mike Zimmer and general manager Rick Spielman at his home earlier this month, with the trio discussing his future.
Speculation suggests that they could agree on restructuring his contract, with the Vikings set on enjoying immediate success next season.
However, the Arizona Cardinals have been linked with an interest, but it is understood that they would have to part with significant assets to sign the running back.
