The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... According to Advocate staffer Nick Underhill, Peterson's visit with the Saints went well. And while he left without a deal, the door isn't closed on something happening down the line.
Diehards Line:This confirms previous reporting on the visit. Underhill went on to note that it’s not clear if the two sides ever discussed money, but when that hurdle arrives, it’s going to be interesting to see what happens. According to Underhill, New Orleans might not want to go above -- or even match -- the $3.7 million Mark Ingram is scheduled to take home this season in an offer to Peterson. Indeed, if he were to sign in New Orleans, Peterson would likely be to serve as a backup of sorts to Ingram.
