The Minnesota Vikings are unlikely to pick up quarterback Teddy Bridgewater's fifth-year option by the May 2 deadline.

While the Vikings could still re-sign Bridgewater, they appear unwilling to guarantee his salary for 2018 at $11 million.

Bridgewater is still working his way back from his severe knee injury.

"The injury guarantee makes it tough to do," said one source on the Vikings' decision about whether to pick up the fifth-year option.

Bridgewater's injury led the Vikings to trade for Sam Bradford.

The Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks have agreed upon a trade involving Marshawn Lynch.

The Seahawks will swap their sixth round pick in 2018 for the Raiders' fifth rounder.

The only thing remaining is for Lynch to take a physical with the Raiders.

Lynch sat out the 2016 season after announcing his retirement.

Lynch's deal is for two seasons with a base of $9 million and max of $16.5 million.

Vince Young is participating in a three-day minicamp with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.

"I'm just happy to be playing football," Young said.

Young, 33, hasn't played in an NFL regular season game since 2011, but he's hoping to earn an invitation to the Roughriders' preseason camp.

Riders head coach and general manager Chris Jones says it's an open competition for starting quarterback, and Young is one of five quarterbacks in camp.

The New York Giants and LeGarrette Blount have mutual interest.

A deal could be agreed upon before the draft.

Blount would be a good complement for the Giants alongside Shane Vereen and Paul Perkins.

Jay Cutler remains a free agent but his agent insists he doesn't want to retire.

"Jay wants to play football," agent Bus Cook said. "He never has mentioned retirement to me. Jay Cutler, as far as I know, is ready to play and wants to play, and his skill set is as good as any quarterback in the league."

Cutler had been with the Chicago Bears since 2009.

The New Orleans Saints have finalized a two-year, $7 million deal with Adrian Peterson.

The deal includes $3.5 million guaranteed in 2017.

"I am excited to be joining the New Orleans Saints," Peterson said in a statement to ESPN. "I'm really looking forward to this opportunity. Most importantly, I chose this team because it just felt right within my spirit. Additionally, my wife and family added their confirmation with the same feelings. On offense, it goes without saying that the Saints are really solid behind Drew Brees. I feel like my skill set can make them even more dominant as a unit.

"They have a great offensive line, which is something that stood out to me as well. I could tell from talking to head coach Sean Payton over the last two weeks that he did his due diligence in evaluating how I could contribute. I also did a lot of homework on the defense as well. While I know that injuries have played a role in performance, I also see areas of potential with a lot of younger guys having the ability to step up. Lastly, it goes without saying that the Saints have an amazing fan base and I look forward to making them proud and creating everlasting memories."

Mike Gillislee will join the New England Patriots after the Buffalo Bills decided not to match a two-year, $6.4 million offer sheet on Monday.

New England will send a fifth-round draft pick to Buffalo as compensation for the restricted free agent.

Just a year ago the Patriots signed Chris Hogan to a three-year, $12 million offer sheet which the Bills declined to match.

In addition to Gillislee, the Patriots have James White, Dion Lewis and Rex Burkhead at running back.

Adrian Peterson and the New Orleans Saints are moving towards a one-year deal.

Peterson could sign for approximately $3 million-plus for 2017.

The Saints already have Mark Ingram on their roster at running back.

The New England Patriots are unlikely to trade Malcolm Butler this offseason.

Butler signed a one-year, $3.91 million tender with the Patriots last Wednesday, which means New England has the opportunity to trade him.

Butler visited the New Orleans Saints earlier in the offseason.

If Butler had signed an offer sheet with the Saints and the Patriots didn't match, the Saints would have had to surrender their first-round pick in the 2017 draft (11th overall) to New England.

Butler and the Patriots discussed a long-term extension this offseason.

Taylor Gabriel has signed his second round tender with the Atlanta Falcons worth $2.8 million.

Gabriel said in February that he wanted to stay with the organization "forever".

Gabriel had a breakout 2016 season at wide receiver.
