Bye, bye Reggie Bust.

Let's hope Lance Moore signs a multi year deal just like PT has.

I'm glad to have him for four more years.....even if it might really be only two years. Just spend some more time on the field.

What amount is guaranteed?

What effect will the new CBA have?

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

PT and Reggie brought us a Superbowl.
Steven Jackson gets hurt too.
I think Ivory is still a #3 RB.
Glad PT is here, hope Reggie stays at the right price and if not, there will be other options.

Why does everyone think this means Reggie is gone. This has absolutely nothing to do with Reg. Look, we need depth at RB. Do yall not remember what happened last year. Im glad we locked him up and I hope we lock up some more guys at RB. We need all we can get.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Or in other words, YES!!!!!

As I stated in a previous comment, I felt that Pierre Thomas was the number one priority. I know many do not agree with me, but I love his running style and the way he makes the most out of every run. He is also a good receiver.

Championship

when healthy the screen is the Saints money play

I think it's funny how the people who are opposed to this deal and who are in favor of Chris Ivory getting the starts because Pierre Thomas is "injury-prone." Um, are you kidding me??? Chris Ivory is great when he's healthy, but he had a whole host of injuries last year that kept him out of games. Pierre Thomas had a torn tendon and missed a bunch of games, but that does not mean in any way that he's not dependable. The two previous seasons he barely missed any time. I hope we keep Ivory and Bush but Pierre's my guy.

I like PT, so I'm glad we got this done. What it tells me is that we are now committed to the "Running Back By Committee" approach. You can debate whether that's a good thing or not, but PT is not a feature back like Steven Jackson so we are going to run different RBs out there depending on the situation. PT, IMO, is the best running back in the league at catching balls out of the backfield, especially on screens. He is such a threat and a great weapon in that capacity. The Saints now need to make sure they have enough depth to balance the load.
