Vikings Sign Pro Bowl Cornerback Patrick Peterson
4 years agoThe Minnesota Vikings signed Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson to a one-year deal worth $10 million on Thursday. The perennial All-Pro cornerback and former Arizona Cardinal will join a Vikings defense that was routinely shredded in 2020. Peterson may not be the elite shutdown corner he was earlier in his career with the Cardinals, but he did play very well late last season and will be a big upgrade to Minnesota's secondary in 2021. The 30-year-old has allowed over 100 yards to an opposing wideout in just one game since the 2015 season, according to Pro Football Focus. Peterson has also missed just six games in his 10-year career, proving to be extremely durable. The eight-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro had 61 combined tackles (52 solo), three interceptions and eight passes defensed in his final season with Arizona in 2020.
