In the end, LaDainian Tomlinson decided a shared workload with the Jets mentoring second-year running back Shonn Greene was a better fit than being the backup to Adrian Peterson with a significant third-down role in Minnesota.
And that decision has left the Vikings in a quandary.
If the season started today, second-year man Albert Young would be the leading candidate to back up Peterson. How worrisome is that? Young has 12 career carries in two NFL seasons.
Minnesota's preferred plan is to let Young battle it out for a roster spot behind Peterson and another veteran.
However, the Vikings do like Young's long-term potential. He flashed ability in gaining 40 yards on 10 carries in the regular-season finale.  Be first to comment this article |  Add as favourites (0) |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 0

After losing Chester Taylor to the Chicago Bears, the Vikings turned their attention to a Hall of Fame running back.
LaDainian Tomlinson, who was cut by the San Diego Chargers last month, made his first free agent visit this week when he met with the Vikings.
Coach Brad Childress and vice president of player personnel Rick Spielman were among a contingent of team officials who dined with Tomlinson at a Minneapolis steakhouse on Wednesday and then continued meetings on Thursday.
Tomlinson is eighth all-time in NFL history with 12,490 yards and was the league's MVP in 2006. But with plenty of tread on his tires, the soon-to-be 31-year old said he would have no problem with assuming Taylor's third-down role and playing behind Adrian Peterson. "I don't," have a...
