Getty ImagesNeither team nor player have said anything that anyone would regret, yet. But the tension is there, and it seems to be building.

With the Seahawks kicking tires on other available running backs — Jamaal Charles, Latavius Murray, and Eddie Lacy — it makes sense to bring in Peterson, too. If nothing else, showing interest in all of them gives the Seahawks leverage with each of them, if negotiations ever commence.
