Peterson obviously wasn't going to get the touches he wanted in N.O., so it's for the best for both parties. I know the question is "why even sign him in the first place??", but at the time the Saints hadn't drafted Alvin Kamara yet, who's really looking lethal and is becoming a big part of the offense. Too many mouths to feed. If Payton knew he'd come out of the draft with someone like Kamara, I don't think he makes that AD signing. I think Arizona's style fits Peterson a lot more than N.O. did
