Washington has exercised their 2020 option on the contract of Adrian Peterson.

Peterson had signed a two-year deal with the team option last offseason. He'll receive a $2.25 million base salary with a roster bonus of $109,375. He carries a $3.1 million salary-cap hit.

Peterson has played in 31 of 32 games since joining Washington. 

"Going into this season, there's so much more I can do and how I can help this team," Peterson told ESPN by phone on Wednesday. "My mentality is showing the Adrian Peterson of old and not just flashes; really showing, 'Wow, this cat is on a whole different level.'"
