After the New Orleans Saints lost back-up Running Back Tim Hightower to the San Francisco in free agency, rumors began swirling about whether or not the Saints would look to add Stanford standout RB Christian McCaffery in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Well, now it looks like the Saints might have found their back-up RB in former MVP Adrian Peterson.
Sources: #Saints & Adrian Peterson believed to be closing in on a deal that’d pay him $3M+ in ’17. Not done, but moving in that direction.

If the Saints add AP into the fold in the backfield, the Saints will have one less hole to address in this year’s draft.
