Tomlinson leaves Vikings' facility

Tomlinson leaves Vikings' facility

The Minnesota Vikings wined and dined LaDainian Tomlinson on Wednesday night, then spent much of Thursday meeting with the star running back in hopes of pairing him with Adrian Peterson in what would be a big-name backfield.



Tomlinson emerged from Vikings headquarters on Thursday evening with a purple Vikings jersey in hand, but pulled away in a black limousine without a deal in place.

Tomlinson declined to comment to reporters before the limo drove away, but several people with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press that the two sides had yet to reach a deal. Those people spoke anonymously because talks are ongoing with Tomlinson.

Tomlinson will still make his scheduled visit to the Jets on Friday, a league source confirmed to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter
