The New Orleans Saints are cutting veteran running back Pierre Thomas.
"I want to thank the New Orleans Saints organization, all my coaches, my teammates and the Who Dat Nation for an amazing adventure," Thomas wrote on Instagram. "I have so many wonderful memories I will never forget. I am thankful to have spent the past 8 years in the great city of New Orleans! As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end but I'm not done yet."
Thomas was due $2.1 million next season.
Thomas caught 45 passes for 378 yards and one touchdown and rushed for 222 yards and two touchdowns last season.
Thomas has played for the Saints since 2007 when he went undrafted out of Illinois.
