Adrian Peterson is a free agent, and he has an idea of where he wants to go. Peterson tells TMZ Sports that joining the texans would be his “dream scenario.”
“Obviously, being back home would be awesome,” the Palestine, Texas native said … “Houston has always been a team I’ve thought about.”
At this time, it’s not clear if the interest has been reciprocated or whether the Texans have reached out to Peterson’s representatives. Right now, the Texans seem pretty set at the top of the running back depth chart with Lamar Miller and D’Onta Foreman under contract, although Foreman is recovering from an Achilles injury.
Last season, Peterson agreed to a two-year contract with the Saints during the free agent period, but was rarely involved in the club’s offense. After weeks of not being utilized, Peterson was dealt to the Cardinals in exchange for a conditional late-round pick.
Peterson, who will turn 33 years old in March, managed 3.5 yards per carry on 129 rushes and scored twice in the desert. However, he was among the least effective backs in the league: Football Outsiders ranked Peterson 46th among 47 running backs in both DYAR and DVOA, metrics which measure overall and per-play value, respectively.
