Top news in the National Football League today is Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson agreed to a contract extension. The Minnesota player is said to make about 100 million dollars over the next seven years and about 36 million guaranteed. It didn't take long for the organization to reach a deal with the number one draft pick for fantasy football. Adrian Peterson received a extension just several days after the Vikings re-signed linebacker Chad Greenway. Also in other news Saints starting wide receiver Marques Colston is expected to be out for four weeks with a broken collarbone. Colston who played against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night had six catches for 81 yards and a lost fumble. The Packers went on to beat the Saints 42-34.
