Does Adrian Peterson Have Financial Issues?
Read more on the potential financial struggles of Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson.
Detroit Lions Adrian Peterson Has Financial Problems - Sports Illustrated Detroit Lions News, Analysis and More

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson has repeatedly expressed his desire to extend his playing career in the National Football League.

Could the reason be due to financial struggles?

According to a report from The Athletic, "A New York state judge has ordered Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson to pay a Pennsylvania lender $8.3 million on a defaulted loan, with interest adding several thousand dollars a day to the tab moving forward. The ruling came at the end of a hearing Wednesday in which Peterson did not send counsel."

The report indicates that Peterson is unable to pay the loan back to the lender.

DeAngelo Vehicle Services sued the star running back two-and-a-half years ago, after Peterson borrowed $5.2 million in 2016.

With interest accruing daily, Peterson reportedly owes north of $8 million, but has not filed for any sort of bankruptcy protection.

It is believed that the veteran running back took out the loan to pay back other loans he received for investments that did not turn out the way in which Peterson had hoped.

The report goes on to indicate that Peterson may have been taken advantage of by those he trusted.

“The truth behind Adrian Peterson’s current financial situation is more than is being reported at this time. Because of ongoing legal matters, I’m unable to go into detail. But I will say that this is yet another situation of an athlete trusting the wrong people and being taken advantage of by those he trusted. Adrian and his family look forward to sharing further details when appropriate," Peterson's attorney Chase Carlson revealed in a statement to The Athletic in 2019.

I think I’m more excited about the off-season than I am about who wins the super bowl (KC for sure)


Mainly to see what happens with Deshaun and Odell.

one of the biggest travesties in the nfl is drew brees and aaron rogers NEVER meeting in the playoffs. They both been in the nfc for the last 10+ years but never met in the playoffs. Each time it was on track, one of them would choke badly And that would end it. Manning and Brady met 5 times in the playoffs (Despite manning losing in his first playoff game 7 times)

2019 they were suppose to meet in the divisional but brees choked vs minnesota in the wildcard.
2011 they were suppose to meet in the nfc title game but my niners whooped that ass on the saints in the divisional. also gb gagged at home vs the giants


it would be nice 2 see them play this year but i fear 1 if not both will lose this weekend which is a shame really

How can 1 man be so positive/negative about a player that he can debate himself in a video
