Jason La Canfora, citing sources with knowledge of the situation, reports that Saints HC Sean Payton and veteran RB Adrian Peterson did not exchange words during Monday’s game against the Vikings and there is no disagreement or rift between them.
Sources tell La Canfora that Payton and Peterson later discussed the sideline incident on the plane home. La Canfora adds that both Peterson and Payton are on the same page and “squashed” the matter.
According to La Canfora, the Saints have no plans to either trade or release Peterson and are actually hoping to get him more work in their offense moving forward.
