The Saints will meet Adrian Peterson next week, a source tells NFL.com’s Heath Evans (Twitter link). This will mark Peterson’s third free agent visit of the offseason.

Previously, Peterson met with the Seahawks and Patriots, but there’s little chance of him landing in Seattle and the odds of him going to New England don’t seem all that high either. The Seahawks are already well set at running back with Eddie Lacy, C.J. Prosise, and Thomas Rawls on the depth chart. The Patriots, meanwhile, have five running backs under contract after re-signing Brandon Bolden this week.
The Saints have Mark Ingram as their top running back with Travaris Cadet, Daniel Lasco, and Marcus Murphy in support. A backfield starring Ingram and Peterson would be lethal and would help keep defenses honest against the Saints’ pass-heavy offense. The Saints’ exact level of interest in Peterson isn’t clear, but they’re at least curious about him after losing Tim Hightower to free agency. Peterson, meanwhile, is looking to join a contender and, depending on how the rest of the offseason goes, the Saints could fit the bill.
It will be interesting to see whether the Saints are simply meeting with Peterson or if they will also put him through a workout. Peterson’s recent powwow with the Patriots included some drills.
Doubt they sign him, but I’ll take him…
In the south they hit people with sticks,he will fit in good there
want to come down and see for yourself what all you can get hit with?
no thanks
If Ingram is still on the team then no but if Ingram is gone sign this beast
Wants to go to a SB contender (I thought) …..no offense to saints fans….but I don’t currently see them as one, even with him.
Who is leas useful to their next team… Adrian Peterson with (?) or Ryan Howard with the Braves? Probably Howard but it will be very close.
… Peterson is going to be on the active roster, Howard is going to be in the minors
Yes. But when he averages 1 YPC, he may be released.
Depends. If Ryan Howard shows any hitting ability in the minors, Braves might be able to salvage something in a trade to an AL team.
Not surprising, he already helped them to a SB before
No, that Percy Harvin that fumbled like five times, wasn’t it?
Wow, discriminate much?
As a backup? Or a 1b to Ingram as 1a?? Yeah I’ll take him. With a good line and reduced playing time. He has one good year left.
The Packers need to get they’re heads straight and just sign him already
