There was no doubt Adrian Peterson would land on his feet after being released by the Washington Football Team, and now he’s found himself a new home.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Peterson has agreed to a one-year deal with the Detroit Lions.
The signing reunites Peterson with his former offensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings, Darrell Bevell. He’ll join a crowded backfield that includes Kerryon Johnson and D’Andre Swift.
Peterson revealed that being released by Washington caught him off guard because he was having such a strong training camp.
