Our old friend Heath Evans reported on Thursday afternoon via the NFL Network that the Saints are meeting with former Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson next week. The exceptional yet polarizing rusher has already met with the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, but neither meetings ended with Peterson signing on the dotted line.
Peterson has alluded to the fact that he is being patient in searching for the best fit. Some have speculated that Peterson’s asking price is too high for a 32-year-old running back, but another report directly contradicted that and even implied that he would be willing to take a pay cut in order to play for a Super Bowl contender.
