It's looking more and more likely that Adrian Peterson will remain with the Minnesota Vikings after all.

Throughout this offseason, Peterson and his agent, Ben Dogra, had maintained that Peterson no longer wanted to remain with the organization, but the Vikes and general manager Rick Spielman held firm in their stance that they would not trade -- or cut -- their star running back.

Now that the first two days of the NFL draft have passed without a trade to another team (and it would have taken a first or second-day pick to pry him away, given his skills), Dogra says he realizes the Minnesota organization really is committed to his client, and that Peterson is willing to stay... for a price.

"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 words. If that's going to happen, and you want to keep him, then show him a commitment to make him retire as a Viking. And I haven't had that solution."

None of the remaining three years and $46 million on Peterson's contract is guaranteed, and Dogra would obviously like to see the Vikes had Peterson an extension that includes some guaranteed money. He's currently scheduled to be the highest-paid running back in the league this season, at least in terms of his cap hit, but maybe the Vikes would be willing to hand over a guaranteed sum in exchange for lowering his cap hit and average salary.
