Wow I am a homer and I haven't heard this news? If true you dynasty guys better grab Ivory ASAP. He could be a beast next year with a healthy Bush. Meaning PT will not get the deal he wants from the Saints and will be playing elsewhere. But first things first, where is Mort getting this information and is it acurate?
 
not sure where glazer got the info, but claims that the doctor never said it would take 4-6 wks to come back -- payton feels that thomas can play but is still pissed about his contract

 
There is a thread about this on Saintsreport.com super forum. It seems the origin of this story is Jay Glazer and not Mort. There is also talk that the Doctors did not tell PT that the injury was 4-6 weeks and that PT has just not been playing. I dont believe that one bit. Not in a contract year. I think this is a bunch of nothing, a non story by insider guys trying to break a story on something that just isn't there. When PT is healthy there is no way he will be a scratch , not as long as the Saints are in the playoff hunt. You can quote me on that.

 
There's risk involved for sure given his injury and Glazer's report but if you were thinking of trading for Thomas now definitely seems to be the time to strike.

I have no idea about the accuracy of this report, but Jay Glazer does not have a history of breaking BS stories. He's pretty conservative with his reports.For instance, Glazer had the Randy Moss story first, but sat on it for a day to wait for better confirmation.So, who knows if this is true about Payton and Thomas. I agree that it seems a little hard to believe (even though I'm an Ivory owner!). But if it's Glazer reporting this, there is at least some smoke. But maybe not fire.

I don't believe it, I do believe Ivory could split with Bush next year and Pierre could be gone though

I hope PT is still in the doghouse at year end. Pierre would be the perfect complement to Adrian Peterson in Minnesota. Just like Chester Taylor, he catches the ball well, breaks tackles, and doesn't fumble.

If the Packers had a GM who believed in free agency I'd say Thomas would make an excellent fit as Green Bay's starter or co-starter with a healthy Grant.

LMAO! YEA RIGHT! Ivory has had ONE good run. They signed JJ for a reason!They still use Betts on passing downs because Ivory blows in pass protection.ASA Pierre is healthy, he'll see the field! Mark it downThis reminds me of all the talk about GB trading for a RB....

Yeah they just lost by 13 at home vs the Browns which might as well be by 50 - They struggled to do basically anything and Ivory averaged like 3 yards a carry. Bush can't run and Pierre is an above average between the tackles back. Definitely wouldn't be the first time Glazer was wrong.

I'd bump you off the board if I could. You're lame. Period.Come back at me any way you want; I won't reply. I'll choose to believe strength is in numbers on this one at the Week 7-8 turn where JMF's been out two weeks now.
 
I wish they'd figure it out soon...they being every party involved. I'm in desperate need of roster space, and seriously considering cutting PT. Yes. Cutting. I'm overloaded w/ RB's with Gore, Bradshaw, Felix Jones, Torain, and Shonne Green. It's either run thin elsewhere or dump one of them, and PT seems the candidate a the moment.

eh its week 7 & its become extremely lame

No disrespect intended Punter, but that joke, if ever was funny has lost it's punch some weeks ago...
 
In light of recent play, I'd expect PT and Bush back in the lineup as soon as they're healthy... Ivory will likely take on a role of refresher and/or short yardage back...

 
Payton said today that Thomas is doing much better and should practice next week. Is this a scoop and stash situation for the FF playoffs? I know he was dropped in a lot of leagues based on all of the message board chatter.

I know I wouldn't want to be relying on Pierre Thomas in the FF playoffs. If he has the sort of day Saints RBs have been having basically all year you could easily be toast.
 
Ivory is sitting on my waivers in a 10 team league but I'm still having a hard time pulling the trigger. I just don't see them not running a multi-headed monster at RB once Bush gets back in the mix.

EDIT - Didn't see the Ivory injury...

Did you not hear Ivory separated his shoulder on Sunday? There is a reason he is on your waiver wire.

If you have the room its definately not going to hurt. It will interesting to see how this team plays after the bye, and the playoff schedule doesn't look all that great. Who knows though what can happen, so its worth stashing him if you can.
 
I kind of agree with the comments debunking this Glazer report.

BUT: I've been thinking that Julius Jones is a rising dark horse in this RB mix (Jones + Bush + Ivory as power running RB3 at some point).

I'm also convinced the Saints will be going RB in the 1st round next year, so given the Saints' recent moves PT is likely on his way.
