The 33-year old was the team's leading rusher last season, after being signed in late August.
Adrian Peterson, the Redskins' most productive offensive player last year, has agreed to return on a two-year contract. By Les Carpenter Les Carpenter Reporter covering Washington Redskins and NFL Email Bio Follow March 13 at 3:08 PM Running back Adrian Peterson, who revived his career by running for 1,042 yards last season, agreed on a contract to return to the Washington Redskins Wednesday.
Despite his big season, Peterson’s return was not a certainty. Promising second-year player Derrius Guice is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament that wiped out his entire rookie season. A healthy Guice will presumably take many of the carries that belonged to Peterson last fall. Peterson also will have to share time with third-down back Chris Thompson, who should be recovered from rib injuries that kept him off the field for just 10 games.
Even after last season’s breakthrough, interest from other teams was mild this offseason. Peterson seemed comfortable in Washington and coaches and teammates appeared to appreciate the way he fit into the locker room, by helping several of his younger teammates and adapting to an offense that throws to running backs more than others in which he had played.
