Super Bowl contender hints it may have discussed signing aging RB Adrian Peterson

He is a former MVP, seven-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro, with a 2,000-yard season under his belt.

If they're going to target veteran quarterbacks, they might as well look at veteran running backs as well, right?

When asked if the Denver Broncos had explored signing Peterson on the heels of helping Peyton Manning to a Super Bowl and exploring signing Tony Romo, head coach Vance Joseph wouldn't exactly deny anything:

Peterson, now 32 years old, wasn't great in his first season over 30 years old, rushing for 72 yards over three games and putting up career lows across the board. Whether that was from not having Teddy Bridgewater to take pressure off of the running game or what, AP looked horrendous before suffering what became a season-ending torn meniscus.
