It seems to me that the “team” had a no contact order during AP’s little fling with the law. The team had games to play while A was on sabbatical. The team was doing what the league said they could. They’ve also said that they’d welcome the A back. He is under contract so if he’s chewing on bitter apples now maybe isn’t the best time to be doing so. Its was Peterson’s bs that took him off the field, not the team. They should hold him to his contract and if he doesn’t want to play, the team can arrange for bench space….maybe he could use the time to come up with a play that isn’t always up the middle where everyone that weighs 300 pounds is looking for him.
