Mike Zimmer says the Minnesota Vikings have no intention of trading Adrian Peterson . But the player and his agent have other ideas . 'We 're planning on him being back . We have no plans to trade Adrian , ' he said . 'We 're good to go . I mean , he 's under contract and we expect him to honor it , ' Zimmer said at the NFL Annual Meeting . ' I think when he goes into the Hall of Fame , he 's going to want to go in with the jersey that everyone remembers him as . That will be as a Viking . ' Adrian Peterson played one game for the Vikings last season before being suspended . But Ben Dogra , agent of the superstar running back , has other ideas . 'Adrian and I feel it is in his best interest , and it would be his desire , to play elsewhere in the NFL . This is not personal in any way , it is business , ' he told the Associated Press . Three years remain on the 30-year-old 's deal with $ 12.75million due this season . None of the money is guaranteed . Peterson remains on the Commissioners Exempt List until at least April 15 after hitting his four-year-old son with a switch and the 2012 MVP has been less than enthusiastic about returning to Minnesota . Zimmer also poured scorn on notions that the Vikings are set to trade 2013 first round draft pick Cordarrelle Patterson . Mike Zimmer spoke to reporters during the NFL 's annual meeting in Phoenix . The eccentric receiver and returner made the Pro Bowl after his first year in purple , but found himself sidelined with the emergence of Charles Johnson and his inability to run routes . 'No , no chance whatsoever , ' Zimmer told 1500ESPN.com . 'Cordarrelle is a young , emerging player who was with his third coordinator in three years . Quite frankly , we need to do a good job of figuring out how we can use him better and he needs to understand where he 's supposed to be , the routes and everything . '
Peterson remains on the exempt list after beating his four-year-old son with a switch . He missed all but one of the NFL ' games last year and remains on the Vikings Commissioner 's exempt list . Peterson 's agent said his client 's future is away from Minnesota . Dallas and Arizona have been touted as landing spots . But Zimmer says the franchise have no intention of trading the running back .
