The Facts: The Giants were one of the first teams Peterson started flirting with, even before the Vikings let him go. And it appears there's at least some interest on their part. HC Ben McAdoo was asked specifically Tuesday whether they'd have interest in adding the 32-year-old running back, and he replied directly: "Never say never."

Diehards Line: McAdoo also said that despite his age and the fact he’s had one healthy season in the last three years, he thinks Peterson has the ability to help a team. “He’s a guy who’s a very talented player, and he has a chip on his shoulder,” McAdoo said. “And if he can stay healthy he has a lot to offer.” As PFT's Darin Gantt suggests, the Giants could clearly use someone who is an every-down back, as their depth chart consists mostly of complementary backs such as Shane Vereen and Shaun Draughn and 2016 fifth-rounder Paul Perkins. Whether that guy is Peterson remains to be seen, but McAdoo’s response did nothing to stop the speculation linking them.
