the contract of Pierre Thomas

Over the past three years, new Pierre Thomas jerseys has given the Saints much more than they bargained for when they signed the undrafted free-agent out of the University of Illinois.

Thomas has remained a professional. He has not publicly complained nor criticized the Saints’ front office, he has attended some voluntary workouts, and he has signed his tender to ensure that he is a member of the 2010 Saints.

As if this was not enough frustration for Thomas, he watched as the Saints made his teammate Reggie Bush the highest paid running back in the NFL while continuing to bargain and negotiate with Thomas.

The numbers above put in perspective exactly how underpaid Pierre Thomas has been throughout his career. For both his workload ($/Touch) and his performance ($/Yard), Thomas has not been compensated on nearly the same level as his counterparts in the division.

"The reality is with running backs, he's in the prime of his career," Smith said of Thomas. "Running backs have some of the shortest careers in the NFL and are often let go after they're 30. If he doesn't get a big contract when he's in the prime of his career, then when does he get security?"

Thomas has missed portions of the voluntary offseason workout program and minicamp after he’s been one of the key figured for the offense. He led the team with 793 rushing yards and six touchdowns last season. He has not signed his RFA tender and the possibility exists he will not.

New Orleans football jerseys general manager Mickey Loomis indicated the sides are “far apart” and you have to wonder if that gap will be closed over the summer or if the Saints will have a disgruntled running back who was tendered for $1.7 million as a restricted free agent in training camp.

“The Saints have refused to negotiate with us. They've given us one proposal,” Thomas’ agent Lamont Smith said. "Pierre made the new NFL jerseys minimum (salary) the last three years and was their leading rusher the last two. He made all the plays necessary. … He's done all the right things. He played his (first) contract out."

Per the story, the Saints have not offered Thomas as much as the $11 million, three-year offer that fullback Leonard Weaver received from the Philadelphia Eagles. How or why Thomas is being compared to Weaver isn’t known. It’s also unknown how much Thomas is seeking, but surely he’s looking for something North of $4 million annually.

The New Orleans Saints have lowballed running back Pierre Thomas with a contract offer, according to a report by the Associated Press, and the sides remain far apart on a possible longterm extension
