Adrian Peterson is no longer demanding a trade out of Minnesota. The former MVP winning running back now wants more money to stay in town.

Peterson's agent Ben Dogra, who has previously said that his client would be better off on another team, now says that he has accepted that Minnesota has no plans to move on from Peterson.

"One of the things that I appreciate with the Vikings is their resolve to say 'we're not trading him,'" Dogra told USA Today. "That tells me they value him not only as a football player, but what he's done for the organization. I actually, as an agent, not only appreciate it - I accept it. But actions speak louder than word. If that's going to happen, and you want to keep him, then show him a commitment to make him retire as a Vikings. And I haven't had that solution."

What Dogra is likely hinting at with his comments about commitment is a financial show of good faith. However, the Vikings are already paying Peterson a base salary north of $12 million this season (with a salary cap hit upwards of $15 million) and $46 million total over the next three years. Peterson is already the highest paid back in the NFL, so there's not much more room for compensation. There's no reason for Minnesota to give him a raise as a 30-year-old running back.

At least we are reaching a bit of certainty in this up-in-the-air situation. We'll keep you updated as more details emerge.
