New England Patriots
It’s certainly not out of the question for a veteran to head up to New England in search of a new chapter in their career. Just ask Randy Moss.
The Patriots did something sort of similar about a decade ago when they acquired Corey Dillon from the Bengals, only to see the then-30-year-old running back rip off a 1,000-yard season and find the end zone 37 times in his three-year tenure with New England.
Peterson isn’t exactly needed in the high-octane Patriots offense; they’re doing just fine without him, having won six games in a row and in line for the top seed in the AFC this postseason. But more than stats or offensive fits, Peterson would finally have a chance to have playoff success with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.
After being on such mediocre Vikings squads for his whole career, Peterson could now have an opportunity to be a part of a team accustomed to deep playoff runs.
