Buccaneers “not expected” to go after Adrian Peterson aggressively

Adrian Peterson will be hitting free agency as the Minnesota Vikings declined to pick up his 2017 option, and the 32-year-old running back was immediately and widely linked to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, mostly because Peterson kept mentioning them the past two years.

Seems those rumors don’t have much to stand on, if we can believe ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler (via Jenna Laine).

Two sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that the Bucs are not expected to aggressively pursue Adrian Peterson at this point. Things could change, but right now, the team has loose plans for Doug Martin.
