Vikings RB Peterson keeps number, avoids $1M penalty

Feb 2, 2012

What's in a number? Well, if Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson elected to change his jersey number, it was going to cost him $1 million.

With that in mind, Peterson ended his brief flirtation with the idea and kept No. 28 as opposed to pursuing No. 23.

Peterson explained his decision in a post on his Twitter account.

“So here is the deal with the number change!” Peterson wrote. “So I received a call and I was informed that I would've to buy all jerseys that's been produced & Thus far! N the total amount that I would have to pay blew my mind!!!!!”

Peterson signed a seven-year deal worth $100 million prior to this season. He rushed 208 times for 970 yards and 12 touchdowns before a gruesome knee injury ended his campaign.
