Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson finds himself in a sticky situation. According to Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic, Peterson is being sued by a Pennsylvania lender – for a lot of money.

“A Pennsylvania lender is suing Peterson for allegedly defaulting on a $5.2 million loan, the proceeds of which he used to pay back other debts he incurred, including millions from a “pay-day lender,” court documents in New York show.

“The sum, which with interest and legal fees is now $6.6 million, is separate from the $2.4 million a Maryland state judge last week ordered Peterson to pay another creditor — Democracy Capital Corp. In 2018, a Minnesota court ordered him to pay $600,000 left unpaid on a $2.4 million loan.”

Peterson's side was quick to come to his defense, though.

Of course, we're going to have to let this whole thing play out. However, it's not exactly looking great for Adrian Peterson. Just last week he was ordered to pay $2.4 million in a different case, and now he's staring down the barrel of another $6.6 million.

It's quick to judge, but we need to remember that nothing's been finalized yet. For all we know, Peterson will be on the right side of this one and end up not having to pay (or maybe at least lowering the price).

With that in mind, it's time to keep an eye and an ear out for more news regarding this. I'd imagine the running back will want to resolve things as quickly as possible so he can focus on training camp with the Redskins – a team that he should have a pretty sizable role on in 2019.

This isn't the type of news Washington Redskins were probably hoping to hear about running back Adrian Peterson heading into training camp. We'll see if-and-how it plays a role in his work with the team.
