New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas said it was about time QB Drew Brees was signed to a new deal. Thomas also does not think Brees is overpaid despite signing a five-year, $100 million contract. ‘My reaction was, about time. It’s about time,’ Thomas said. ‘He deserves it. He does a lot for this organization, he does a lot for New Orleans. He busts his butt to get the position where he’s at in his career. He’s set so many records, the man is a coach of the game, a teacher of the game and he’s a player too. He’s a great guy and you want to see greatness for him. I’m proud and I’m happy for him.’
