Kansas City is his sixth team, but Peterson actually only played for two of his previous five. He was shuffled from the Giants to New England to Atlanta without ever kicking in a game before landing briefly with Arizona in '94. He was with Arizona for only two weeks, long enough to make the only two field goals he attempted, before he was released again. He then found a home for the next five seasons in Seattle. It has been suggested that with the Seahawks moving out of the climate-controlled Kingdome and playing this year and next in Washington's Husky Stadium, Holmgren didn't think Peterson would do well.
Salary caps are always a factor.
Peterson suggested that was the case with him and the Seahawks. I do my job 81 percent of the time. I'm shooting for 83 percent, then 84 percent. He can be reached at 268-6278.
