After Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson reportedly requested a trade, reports indicate that at least two teams have an eye on him.
The Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints are a few teams that could have interest in the 28-year-old.
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports said on Twitter that the two teams have been trying to work out a deal.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Bryant McFadden, who is the cousin of Peterson, said the eight-year pro’s “ideal trade destination” is with the Saints.
