Against significant odds, Brian Allee-Walsh has reported that the New Orleans Saints have agreed to terms with running back Pierre Thomas on a 4 year contract. Wow. I for one have to say I am shocked. I was told a while back that things were broken between the two sides and the chances of him coming back in 2011 to the black and gold were very slim. So much for that.
That’s amazing news and I’m honestly thrilled to hear it because I was resigned to the idea that he likely wasn’t coming back. Thomas turned down a deal he deemed unfair last offseason from the Saints. I wonder if the deal he just signed is the same deal, and maybe after being out for a year with an injury he realized his worth on the open market was less? I can’t imagine the Saints would offer him more the year after he was injured. That said, the extension also means the Saints feel good that his ankle injury which lingered all season long won’t hamper her long term.
WECOME BACK PT CRUISER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
