NEW ORLEANS - Adrian Peterson could finally have a new home.
NFL Insider and NFL.com writer Ian Rapoport said on Twitter Monday afternoon that sources tell him the former Minnesota Vikings running back is working on a deal with the New Orleans Saints, who Peterson worked out for last week.
Sources: #Saints & Adrian Peterson believed to be closing in on a deal that’d pay him $3M+ in ’17. Not done, but moving in that direction.

Rapoport reports the possible deal could pay Peterson more than $3 million this coming season. "Not done, but moving in that direction," Rapoport's tweet stated.
The Vikings did not pick up Peterson’s option, making the 32-year-old a free agent March 9.
The Vikings host the Saints to open the regular season, Sept. 11 on Monday Night Football. See the full Vikings 2017-18 schedule here.
