I think to AD, he's an icon. He's Adrian Peterson... All Day... the best in the league for almost the last decade. He recently came back from injury in a way nobody said he could. In his mind, the money isn't about supply and demand and getting paid... the money is a sign of respect. He's not willing to be disrespected when he knows he's the best. So I think he's very serious. If nobody in the league offers him a 10M+ salary, I could see him retiring. He wants that Peyton Manning status... when 8 different teams are vying for the same player, all offering competitive deals, and the player gets to pick the team he feels is the best opportunity regardless of money. AD wants to go to a Superbowl. That's one thing he hasn't had with Minnesota.
As far as Ray Mac... 49ers are a mess right now. They're still one of the better teams in the league, but they just don't have a certain something this season. They've got rumors all over that the coach is on his last leg there despite the success he's had. Ray is just the last trouble they need right now. I'll save judgement on the guy until all the facts come out, but he's certainly not the public image they're looking for right now.
