Reception has been split amongst Vikings in the aftermath of Sidney Rice’s departure from Minnesota to join Tarvaris Jackson with the Seattle Seahawks.

The five-year deal worth over 40 million dollars–18 million of that guaranteed– was too much for the Vikings to match.

One person who is furious with the Sidney Rice departure is his now former teammate, superstar runningback Adrian Peterson.

Via his Twitter account, Peterson voiced his displeasure with the Vikings letting Rice slip out West to Seattle.
I CAN’T Believe the Vikings let my boy Sidney Rice get away! I didn’t think we wouldn’t be playing together this year! WOW!
