Pierre is beloved


One of the greatest players to ever wear the Black and Gold.

I'll never forget him making a move and diving into the end zone in the Super Bowl.

Huge mistake. He was one of the most cost effective players by far.


This!

Pierre >>> Ingram; this feels like a slap in the face to one of the best saints in the Payton era. True team player, no off the field issues, solid contributer.

Such a class guy and the most underrated running back in the NFL. Saints screen plays will never strike the fear in opponents that Thomas did when he touched the ball. He will be missed.

I'll be cheering for him no matter who he plays for next year. Probably my all time favorite player to watch.

This. I actually got to meet him a few times.

One time was my sister's birthday in Nola. I went up and asked if he would take a picture with her and my wife. Not only did him and Lance take pictures, they stuck around and seemed to appreciate our fandom instead of just going through the motions.

Their only rule was the bar couldn't be in the background.

I'll just bring up again that while I think it was the wrong move, they still did right by releasing him early and giving him the best chance to catch on somewhere.

This is evidenced by the fact that we still have more cuts to make but are waiting until the last second to see if we can get something for them.
