Adrian Peterson's new deal has a $44 million base value over three years, forces early decisions in 2016-17 http://wp.me/p14QSB-9Oad

Essentially it makes him happy. Vikings win because they can cut him next year with no dead money, Peterson wins because as PFT said, it forces the decision at the beginning of free agency which is to his benefit.
