The New Orleans Saints have signed Michael Thomas to a five-year, $100 million contract extension that includes $61 million in guaranteed money.

Thomas is set to make $1.148 million this season in the final year of his rookie contract. 

Thomas was one of several high-profile players holding out from training camp.

Last season, Thomas set franchise records with 125 catches and 1,405 yards while catching nine touchdown passes. 

The Dallas Cowboys have signed Alfred Morris.

Ezekiel Elliott is currently holding out in hopes of signing a contract extension. Elliott flew to Cabo San Lucas while the Cowboys began training camp.

Morris played for the Cowboys in 2016-17 and was with the San Francisco 49ers last season. 

The New Orleans Saints have released Cameron Meredith.

Meredith has been trying to return from a major knee injury in 2017.

The Saints won't save much cash or salary-cap space by releasing Meredith, who had already agreed to a pay cut of $2.1 million to stay with the team in March. He was due to receive $1.3 million in base salary, with $500,000 fully guaranteed.

The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a three-year extension with Bobby Wagner worth $54 million with $40.2 million in guaranteed money.

Wagner negotiated the deal himself, which makes him the highest paid inside linebacker in the NFL.

Wagner was entering the final season of his existing deal.

Mike Daniels is finalizing a contract with the Detroit Lions.

Daniels was released this week by the Green Bay Packers.

Ezekiel Elliott is "late" to training camp and can be subject to fines under the CBA as a non-report.

Jerry Jones tried to avoid the word "holdout" in describing Elliott's situation with the Dallas Cowboys.

"He is ah ... he's late. We have officially reported and so he's a non-report officially," Jones said.

The New Orleans Saints and Michael Thomas are "close" to getting a deal done that would end his unexpected holdout, according to a source.

There had been low chatter that the Saints could trade Thomas if they didn't sign him, but the source dismissed that possibility.

Ezekiel Elliott is hoping to receive a contract from the Dallas Cowboys that will surpass the one Todd Gurley got from the Los Angeles Rams last year, according to a report.

The Rams gave Gurley a four-year, $57.5 million extension. Gurley had $34.5 million of that guaranteed by March of this year.

Elliott was absent on the team's plane to training camp Thursday.

The Green Bay Packers will release Mike Daniels.

Daniels was due to make $8.5 million this season -- $7.6 million base salary, $500,000 roster bonus and $400,000 workout bonus -- in the final year of a four-year, $41 million contract extension signed on Dec. 13, 2015.

The Atlanta Falcons are signing defensive end Allen Bailey to a two-year, $10.5 million contract, according to a source.

Bailey's contract will pay him $6 million this season, including $3.5 million guaranteed.

The 30-year-old was one of the longest-tenured Kansas City Chiefs, having arrived as a third-round draft pick (86th overall) from Miami in 2011.
