Saints RB Pierre Thomas - I'm worth Steven Jackson money

Now look, I love PT like no tomorrow, and he is a vital part of the Saints. But, Steven Jackson kind of money, lets get real. If this article is true, look for a very long hold out. JMO

I like this:

But this is the business of the NFL. With Mike Bell now the touchdown vulture in Philadelphia, Thomas will see an increased workload. And he deserves a raise for his contributions, his reliability, and his unique running style compared to the other New Orleans backs. His agent, Lamont Smith, will certainly remind the brass in the Big Easy of the clutch playoff performances, the straight-ahead mentality. And the Saints will listen. But if New Orleans wants to pay “Steven Jackson money” to a running back, they’ll pay it to a Steven Jackson. Pierre may very well be on his way to dominant status, but for now he’ll get Pierre Thomas money. How much that becomes is up to him.

Process of negotiation. He knows he won't get that.

At some point, and I don't know when that will be this hold out will start working against him and the team. You always shoot higher than you know you will get but at some point you have to start moving to the middle.

According to NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora, unsigned restricted free agent Pierre Thomas isn't close to getting a contract extension

"Nothing's really evolved or escalated to this point," says LaCanfora. The Saints threw out an offer a couple of months ago, and they've been reluctant to go higher. Though beat writer Jeff Duncan has stated that the deal will "get done," LaCanfora maintains that nothing is imminent.
