The agreement is not yet
finalized, Rapoport stressed, but discussions are moving in that
direction. The deal would also feature incentives allowing Peterson to
earn another million.
Regardless of the final numbers, the salient point is that the seven-time Pro Bowler would earn less than incumbent starter Mark Ingram,
who is coming off the most productive season of his career. Ingram has
improved significantly in the passing game over the past two years,
which would theoretically position Peterson to concentrate on early-down
runs and high-leverage situations such as third-and-short and goal-line
carries.
As luck would have it, the Saints visit Minnesota in Week 1 for a Monday Night Football showdown with Peterson's former Vikings teammates.
