Report: Saints not currently interested in trading Adrian Peterson

The New Orleans Saints aren't presently interested in trading running back Adrian Peterson despite his struggles in Week 1 and apparent issues with his role and head coach Sean Payton, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Schefter added a move may be considered closer to the trade deadline, but that the Saints understand it can take time to adjust to a new offensive scheme.

Peterson appeared to stare Payton down on the sidelines during Week 1's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, in which he played just nine snaps.

Both played down the incident after the game, though Peterson said he didn't sign up to play such a small role, with Payton retorting that the plan was never to use Peterson extensively like he was when he was with the Minnesota Vikings.
