Dolphins

  • James Walker of ESPN writes that while it’s expected that the Dolphins and WR Jarvis Landry will eventually reach an agreement on a long-term, it’s unlikely to come before the start of the team’s offseason program on Monday.
  • Barry Jackson reports that the Dolphins brought in Florida CB Jalen Tabor for a visit this week.

Saints

  • According to Nick Underhill of the Advocate, free agent Adrian Peterson‘s visit with the Saints “went well” and they haven’t closed the door on possibly signing him at some point.
  • As of now, it’s unclear if the two parties actually discussed a potential deal, but Underhill believes New Orleans could be reluctant to offer the $3.7 million they’re currently paying Mark Ingram.
  • Underhill mentions Peterson would likely have to serve as Ingram’s backup if he were to sign with the Saints, which may not be something he’s willing to do.
  • The Saints met with Alabama LB Reuben Foster, Vanderbilt LB Zach Cunningham and LSU LB Kendell Beckwith and UCLA DE/OLB Takkarist McKinley last week, per Underhill.
  • Miami OT Taylor Gadbois worked out for the Saints on Friday. (Adam Caplan)
