Ingram has played 16 games in a season only twice, and Peterson himself has seen seasons cut short by a torn ACL and a torn meniscus, an injury that limited the Vikings great to just 37 carries previous year and spurred Minnesota's decision to release the franchise legend rather than absorb the $18 million cap hit he was due in 2017.
Peterson rushed for only 72 yards last season, playing in just three games.
"To even have an opportunity to play with a guy like that, that's special", Ingram said. "We think he will be an excellent fit in our locker room and in our offense".
There was a time when adding a player like Adrian Peterson would make everyone excited, especially Fantasy owners. And he has 96 receptions over the past two seasons, which is important in this offense and valuable to quarterback Drew Brees. By the way, the Saints visit the Vikings Week 1 on Monday Night Football. That leaves Daniel Lasco as the only backup toMark Ingram, who took many significant snaps at running back last season.
"I would assume he'll have a warm welcome when he comes back here. He's done so much for this organization and for the Twin Cities".

Samsung has yet to confirm the reason for the hold-up, nor how long Galaxy S8 users can expect to wait until Bixby Voice arrives. It basically introduced a much bigger screen design by pushing the bezels further to the edges.
And: "I also did a lot of homework on the defense as well". Yes, Ingram did have his best season as a pro in 2016, but Peterson is also a seven-time Pro Bowler and former NFL MVP. He became a free agent this season when Minnesota opted not to pick up his $18 million option.
After a decade in a Minnesota Vikings uniform, Adrian Peterson is heading to The Big Easy.
Over the past three seasons combined, Peterson has played in only 21 games, including one playoff loss. Despite Peterson being 32-years-old, they are still willing to add him to their team.
Less than a week ago, rumors started circulating that the New Orleans Saints had a great chance of signing running back Adrian Peterson, and they have now strengthened. He also was the league's top rusher in 2015 with 1,485 yards.
As a result of the imminent signing, Peterson will likely still be coming to Lambeau Field in 2017, just as a member of the Saints in October instead. I figured we were going to draft somebody or get somebody in free agency.
