Pierre Thomas
 

I have just been wondering why no one is signing Pierre Thomas. Not just the Saints, but anyone. He has been a solid running back for a few years. Someone should show interest in him.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

He was linked to the Ravens if the didn't get Forsett. My guess is teams let him wait knowing that its a deep draft at RB and if the 3rd down backs start coming off the board he gets a call. New England is my bet

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

Guaranteed he is on a roster come the start of the season. Too versatile and a great person.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

I just wish he was on our roster.:rolleyes:

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

I do too. I think they are giving him a chance to get some money but if all things are equal he will be back here. There is no way they don't want the depth and versatility he can offer. They are just respecting his deserving a chance to cash in somewhere else if he can.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

I was wondering the same thing. He is too good at the screen for people to pass on. Im surprised he hasn't signed already too. He will be on a roster this year. Probably on a team we play against and he will probably get 200 all purpose yards on us like every other player we release and play against lol.

I am still kind of puzzled by the cut. He didnt cost much and his ability to catch screen passes is definitely an assett that doesnt come around every day.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

Most teams are probably looking at their draft options first. PT is an aging Veteran with some injury history now. But I guarantee he will be on someones roster in the Fall.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

Um, I don't think PT is coming back guys, not by a long shot. Well minus a significant injury and he is available off the wire. Love him and everything he has done for us, but I do not see him lining up for us this season.

PT isn't getting much attention because of his age and the fact that he has been hurt quite a bit. Especially last year where he was phased out of the game plan and I don't think that was because he was healthy. I think PT was hurt more often than not last year which is why he was cut and why he didn't do a lot last year.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

I would believe this if we hadn't signed Spiller already.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

How can anyone think they would bring him back, when all last year they gave most of his carries to Ingram?

They ultimately phased him out last year and cut him this year...

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

I don't think thats going to happen.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

Aging vet with some injuries is not going to get a lot of attention. I do believe come training camp he will get the opportunity to compete somewhere.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

I don't think all that many people "out there" really know who he was, anyway. One of the most under-rated and unknown backs in the league. Never got a lot of press or attention, basically as far as I could tell, hardly anyone except Gruden ever game him props. So I doubt many other teams think he is anything special.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

I like him.
I find it hard to believe he cannot contribute.
Wouldnt mind if he ended up back with us.
He's always beat the odds. Wasnt even drafted.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

PT will probably be one of those players that gets the call around week 5 when a team has a few injuries. Stay in shape PT the phone will ring.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

He'll be in camp for some team. He is good enough for that.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

Always liked PT. Good vision, balance and versatility.
More play than mouth, can't miss me with that one.
Hope he gets new opportunities if that's his goal.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

I know Baltimore had a little interest and now with Bernard Pierce being cut they may give Pierre a call.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

the beating and battering took its toll on P.T. hes missed some time last season with rib injury. and I believe it goes all the way back to head injuries from the san fran . playoff. the man hardly ever went down on the first hit, he will always go down as one of my beast saints like deuce,and R.Jackson, V.johnson and others.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

The teams that played against him know exactly who he is. The GMs are just trying to find out how little he'll play for.

Re: Pierre Thomas
 

I could see someone like the Bears signing him

PT is from Chicago and look at the game logs, every game we have played against the bears since 2007, PT has had a great game.
