That is not a guarantee at all.fiestavike wrote: Evidently the vikings don't agree with you, or they would have picked up his option. He's donzo in MN after this season.

The Vikings have until May 3rd, the day after the draft is completed, to exercise the fifth year options on Kalil and Harrison Smith so you've drawn a premature conclusion.fiestavike wrote:Evidently the vikings don't agree with you, or they would have picked up his option.

I thought so.fiestavike wrote:Thats a fair point.
It certainly wouldn't be a good sign but whether they pick up the option or not, I suspect his future with the team depends primarily on how he performs this season.However! IF they don't pick up that option the odds of Kalil being here after this year are slim.
Full NFL release on Adrian Peterson's reinstatement:@seankjensen #NFL announces that @AdrianPeterson has been reinstated. Bigger question: Now what?!
Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings was advised today that effective tomorrow he is reinstated as an active NFL player and may participate in all scheduled activities with the Vikings.
In a letter from Commissioner Roger Goodell, Peterson was informed that he is expected to fulfill his remaining obligations to the authorities in Minnesota and Texas, as well as the additional commitments Peterson made during his April 7 meeting with the commissioner regarding maintaining an ongoing program of counseling and treatment as recommended by medical advisors.
Beyond the requirement to comply with his court obligations and plan of counseling, Peterson was reminded that his continuing participation in the NFL depends on his avoidance of any further conduct that violates the Personal Conduct Policy or other NFL policies. Any further violation of the Personal Conduct Policy by Peterson would result in additional discipline, which could include suspension without pay or banishment from the NFL.
Peterson was suspended without pay last November 18 for the remainder of the 2014 NFL season for violating the NFL Personal Conduct Policy in an incident of abusive discipline that he inflicted on his four-year-old son last May. Peterson pled no contest on November 4 in state court in Montgomery County, Texas to reckless assault of the child.

Funny, nothing on google yet.
@GoesslingESPN #Vikings' statement: "We look forward to Adrian rejoining the Vikings." Figured it'd be something simple like that. Puts onus on him.
@Andrew_Krammer For Peterson, he's not obligated to show up to #Vikings facilities until June 18 mandatory minicamp. Can be fined $63K for missing 3 days
@darrenrovell Told Radisson’s sponsorship of the Vikings, which began when Peterson issues arose, is still indefinitely suspended
@JohnMiddlekauff Couple league sources I talked w/ thought a 3rd rounder would get it done for AP because of age (30), Salary 13 mil & baggage
Doesn't sound like this is over.... I remain concerned that you have not fully embraced the need for significant changes to your parenting practices
