The Minnesota Vikings were among the bottom feeders in the NFL last season and that prompted stud running back Adrian Peterson to decide to change his jersey number from 28 to 23 for a fresh start.

That was until he was informed that his wallet would take a blistering $1 million dollar hit.

According to ESPN: “So here is the deal with the number change! So I received a call and I was informed that I would’ve to buy all jerseys that’s been produced & Thus far! N the total amount that I would have to pay blew my mind!!!!!,” he wrote.

“Why? Ok so I see maybe ten thousand dollars of my total jersey sales! That’s it!!! In I know I’ve mostly likely been in the top ten & When it comes to top sales ! Why in the hell do I have to pay a Million dollars to change my number! I don’t even get paid a million & Dollars by my sponsors a year! Wow!!! & N I’m talking about my nike deal!,” he wrote.

AP commented via Twitter his decision:

Pay a mill to change number or keep the mill n continue to wear 28?! That’s a easy one… Hell 28 it is!!! Lol.

Forget the jersey number. AP should consider finding a way to change his jersey entirely. Get your priorities straight AP!
