Adrian Peterson: What SHOULD the NFL and the Vikings do?

AP suspended for the rest of the year, no pay. He’s appealing, of course. Adrian Peterson of Minnesota Vikings suspended for at least rest of season - ESPN

Probably will never play for the Vikings again. I suspect he will play for another team, though.

Any idea how much “without pay” will actually amount to?

According to this site, Peterson’s 2014 salary is $14,400,000. Assuming that the salary is divided into 16 game checks (I can’t remember if NFL players receive a paycheck on the bye week), that’d be a weekly check of $900,000 (before taxes, of course), or a six-week hit of $5,400,000.
