Pierre Thomas almost traded to Pats?

TRADE WINDS

Word out of Foxborough, Mass., is that Saints running back Pierre Thomas (injured left ankle and all) apparently was close to becoming a member of the New England Patriots.

New Orleans Saints Notebook: Tracy Porter close to return; Pierre Thomas almost traded

We wanted to Trade PT for a cornerback! even though we are getting like 3 of our healthy ones back in the next 2 weeks, if its true that absolutely sucks!!
PT can't be replaced like that, hes too much of an assett to our team, we better not be alienating our best players.

If the CB was Darius Butler I might be able to see the logic (pure speculation on my part).

The Saints are going to have to pay Drew...he isn't going anywhere. Reggie is getting big bucks and a slew of others contracts need to be negotiated. Hamilton will be back next year, now Ivory with journeymen Jones and Betts at minimums.

I like Pierre as much as anyone, but for Butler or McCourty? It's a no brainer. Especially with the emergence of Ivory and the play of Jones.

PIERRE THOMAS FOR GOVERNOR!!!

Why? Pierre is a dime a dozen player. Decent back, blocking and good at passes out of the backfield, but thats just it good not great. He is one of the most replaceable players at a skill position we have. pLus he is starting to look like a little *****.

No idea how much truth there is to this, but the writing may be on the wall that PT is not part of the Saints immediate or future plans. He is a very talented RB, but I guess at some point the Saints will need to pull the plug on him.

Devil's adovate ... do the Saints really need PT with a healthy Reggie and Ivory?

PT is only hurting himself by playing dice with this injury, he's not getting any gametime which means his value is shrinking either way, if he's being told by his agent to not play and fake the injury then he need to be traded and we need to get the best we can from losing him, if it's a real injury and he can come back soon thats great and i hope we pay him eventually, but if Bush is coming back from a Broken leg and we're getting other players back from various other more lethal injuries i truly believe he's faking it.
