According to NFL Network’s Heath Evans, the New Orleans Saints are expected to meet with veteran free agent running back Adrian Peterson next week. Apparently, it’s not a late April Fool’s joke either.
This is quite a shocking development, as the team is in need of a backup to Mark Ingram after Tim Hightower signed with the San Francisco 49ers. Some figured the draft would be the best route to go, but the fact that Peterson would visit certainly raises an eyebrow on what actually could and would happen.
