Adrian Peterson has found a new home before the start of the Thursday evening portion of the 2017 NFL Draft.

The Saints and Peterson finalized a two-year deal Tuesday that will pay the veteran running back $7 million, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, via a source informed of the situation.

The deal is guaranteed for 2017, Rapoport added.

The seven-time Pro Bowler now will earn less than incumbent New Orleans 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.

He might start but he splitting carries with a solid back in his own right in Ingram

Happens to everyone but it's crazy this is the best he could do

But foreal AP hasn't had a QB that defenses respect since Farve.

It's clear he had some big slices of humble pie at his age and injury history this really is a off the strength of his name contract 99% of RBs would be done.

Why not just take the low salary on the one year deal and win a chip with the Patriots.

New Orleans won't do shit this year, just not enough talent

I think he was trying to drive up his salary prices with pseudo competition amongst teams. Them humble pie slices were pretty big. He thought he was worth more money but no one was gonna sign an aging rb coming off an injury for what he was looking to make. Had to hit home when the Patriots said no and then turn around & sign a backup rb for similar money. I'm glad G-Men didn't sign him cuz we probably would've overpaid.
