Lots of Adrian Peterson talk in recent days, both from him and about him. The Vikings say they want to have him back in 2015. Listening to him talk, though, it sounds like he wants nothing more than to move on.

On the one hand, Peterson says that he loves Minnesota. But he follows that up by saying he's "uneasy" about his relationship with the organization -- apparently, not happy that the Vikings didn't seem to have his back during last year's controversy surrounding child abuse allegations. He's clearly miffed about the way he was treated in the media, as well.

Tellingly, he says "This came from the state I love so much, that I wish to bring a championship to? This is how they treat me when I'm down and out? You kick me? My wife (and I), we've had several conversations about me returning to Minnesota, what the best options are. If I left it up to her, I'd be somewhere else today."

Reading the article, there's little indication that Peterson wants to let bygones be bygones with Minnesota. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport says Peterson "wants a fresh start."

It's not difficult to connect the dots to put Peterson, if the Vikings release him from his 2015 contract, in Dallas, where the Cowboys may need to replace free agent DeMarco Murray. He'll have plenty of suitors, but the Cowboys make a lot of sense for both sides. Peterson is a Texas native, and might be hoping the Vikings release him and he can wind up there. Better team in Dallas, too.

Those holding Jerick McKinnon in dynasty leagues should also hope Peterson gets his release. McKinnon looks like a potential breakout running back next season if the path to the starting lineup is cleared.

If Peterson truly wants out of Minnesota, it will be difficult for the Vikings to bring him back. They have plenty of cap room, but might not want to pay a disgruntled, 30-year-old running back the $13 million in base salary he's due next season. Good for McKinnon, potentially good for Peterson (if he winds up on a better team), and a complication for DeMarco Murray. Will be interesting to see how things play out.
