There simply is absolutely no need for either aging star running back on this Chargers roster in 2017. Peterson’s base salary in 2016 was $7.7 million and $11 million in 2015.
The Giants were fourth from the bottom in the league a year ago with 88.2 rushing yards per game. Peterson joins a group that could include Eddie Lacy, Latavius Murray, LeGarrette Blount, Rashad Jennings, and Danny Woodhead.
