The Saints and Pierre Thomas are far apart on contract negotiations, according to the running back's agent. New Orleans has made one contract offer, but the value was far from what Thomas is seeking. "The Saints have refused to negotiate with us. They've given us one proposal," agent Lamont Smith said Wednesday. "Pierre made the NFL 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."
