This is a big deal. This biggest question on the NFL market could be answered. It sounds like the Saints are closing in on a deal with A.P. From what I have heard it sounds like it would be a 3+ million dollar deal that would make AP likely not the teams starter at RB but he would play a lot of 3rd downs and would be a great 2 punch for Mark Ingram. Of course AP is AP and he may be able to gain the starting role but the role he will at least have for now is perfect for him, the older running back would be good in this system I think. This means that the Saints can now take a lot of running backs off their draft board. If Peterson signs with the Saints he will be almost all the help they need. Fun fact: Week 1 for the Saints is a Monday Night Football match-up with guess who, the Vikings!!! In his first game as a Saint it will be fun to see if Peterson can light up his former team. But first, Peterson does need to have the deal finalized so it is not OFFICIAL but it will likely happen.
Exciting!!!Here is some other news:
-Its looking like the Saints are going to try hard to get the Patriots to trade them CB Malcolm Butler
-The Raiders basically tell Marshawn Lynch that the draft is the deadline for his possible return to football and to play for the Raiders
Thanks for reading this short post and I am working on my final mock draft so that should be out soon for you guys to read and see who my final picks for each pick are!!
