Adrian Peterson should find out what his NFL future holds at some point within the next several days. He met with Commissioner Roger Goodell earlier this week, and reports indicate that he is unlikely to face any kind of suspension once he is taken off of the Commissioner's Exempt List.
Adrian Peterson 'Highly Unlikely' To Face Further Suspension
Minnesota wants to have Peterson wearing a Vikings uniform for the 2015 season, but the star running back has made it clear that he does not want to play for the team any longer. The franchise has said that they will not release him, leaving a trade as the only possibility.
The Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals have been popular speculative destinations for the former MVP, as both are contenders in need of running back help. However, it is unclear whether either team would be willing to part with the kind of trade bounty that Minnesota would likely want in exchange for Peterson.

For his part, Peterson has made it known that he would love to play for the Cowboys, even going so far as to call it a "dream scenario," according to Bleacher Report. He grew up in Texas as a Cowboys fan, and he has mentioned in the past that he would love to wear the star on his helmet at some point in his career.
It remains unclear whether the Cowboys would be willing or able to swing a trade for Peterson, but the prospect of the league's best running back taking handoffs behind the league's best offensive line is certainly an entertaining one (or a scary one, depending on your point of view).
