Adrian Peterson Plea Deal Could Come As Early As Today

A plea agreement between Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson and Montgomery County Texas prosecutors, reducing the charges against the NFL star to a misdemeanor could come as early as today. That would essentially end the legal case against Peterson, but it remains unclear if the league would take further action.

If the NFL decides not to pursue additional penalties, Adrian Peterson could be cleared to return to the team much earlier than most of us expected.

Questions would still remain as to whether the Minnesota Vikings would welcome him back to their roster (I'm guessing they would), and how he would be received by Minnesota and national fans.
