Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones "would pursue" Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson if he's still available by the March 9 start of free agency, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport says Jones wants to "pair" Peterson with Ezekiel Elliott in the Cowboys backfield. It remains possible that the Vikings retain Peterson with a restructured contract, but he's currently scheduled to become a free agent on March 9. This seems like an unlikely scenario.
There were 88 running backs to notch at least 30 rushing attempts last year. Peterson earned -0.39 Rushing Net Expected Points per attempt, by far the worst rate among that group.
