Photo By: Presswire Before you ask why I will not mention Percy Harvin in this piece, I will let you know that like his allegiance to the Minnesota Vikings he is history. The new guy is in and will not have any of the issues Harvin possessed with the team. So without further ado, the new Vikings do it all playmaker is Cordarelle Patterson. The 29th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft...

Sunday slant: Peterson still a bargain

Via min.scout.com  |  July 14, 2013
Matthew Stafford’s contract extension shows just how much teams value quarterbacks, but the Vikings’ biggest contract decision over the last five years came at running back. No matter how the contract numbers are presented for Adrian Peterson, the NFL’s MVP seems like a bargain.
