"Adrian is an important part of the*Minnesota Vikings*organization," said*Vikings*general manager Rick Spielman in a statement released by the team. "We will continue to have conversations with his representatives and leave our future options open while determining what is best for both parties moving forward."

Predictable move by the Vikes FO.

Someone is still going to pay the guy. It might be an incentive-laden deal, but he's going to affect some team's cap. hopefully a team that was looking at a guard or d-lineman.
