Shortly after hosting free agents Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles, and Orleans Darkwa, the front office decided to roll with Peterson. The seven-time Pro Bowler has signed a one-year contract worth $1.015 million; the veteran minimum.
Peterson, 33, provides the Redskins with a first and second down runner, while Chris Thompson remains engraved as the third-down back.

Most NFL pundits will say Peterson is washed up—Trent Williams politely disagrees.
"I don't understand the stigma when people get 31, 32, 33 — they somehow just slow down?" Williams said, per The Washington Times. "You don't. That's a gifted athlete, you know? He has a gift. Did Darrell Green ever lose his speed? He didn't. Some things are just always with you. It's you, it's your makeup, it's your DNA... So, no, he's the same athlete that you're used to seeing."
Depending on how the final preseason games play out, the running back depth chart, in order, could be: Adrian Peterson, Samaje Perine, Chris Thompson, Kapri Bibbs.
