Some reports in early last week said that the New Orleans would sign a new contract with their running back Pierre Thomas within that week, but by so far, there has been no official confirmation of any new contract, and Pierre Thomas one of the team’s five restricted free agents.
However, according to latest reports, the Saints do have a plan to offer Thomas with a long-term deal. And the running back himself also appears confident with what he can get from the team. His confidence might have increased since offensive guard Jahri Evans received a lucrative seven-year contract. Rushing for six touchdowns and a career-best 793 yards during last season, Thomas has managed to prove himself a leading rusher in Saints jersey and a keystone role that the club is willing to pay big money for.
The Saints’ other four unsigned restricted free agents are offensive tackle Jammal Brown, fullback Kyle Eckel, safety Roman Harper and wide receiver Lance Moore. The team also has six unrestricted free agent yet to sign or give up before the 2010 season, and quarterback Mark Brunell has been already trying his chance with other teams during the offseason.
