"One long-term contract down, one to go.

Right, Adrian Peterson?

(Laughter.)

"Right now, I'm just happy for Chad [Greenway]," said Peterson, referring to the Vikings and Greenway agreeing to a five-year, $41 million deal that includes $20 million guaranteed. "He's a great player. He pushes me, man, he makes me better. So to know that he's here is definitely great for this organization."

The Vikings made Greenway's contract their first priority in part because they faced a Sept. 20 league- imposed deadline for ending negotiations with franchise players. But there's an even bigger payday coming for Peterson, who is set to make $10.72 million entering the last year of his contract.

The starting point for Peterson's deal is believed to be $30 million guaranteed. That's based on the six-year, $53.5 million deal Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson signed last week."
