With contract negotiations between his client, Pierre Thomas, and the New Orleans Saints at an impasse, agent Lamont Smith went on the offensive Wednesday.
mith said reports he and Thomas have sought a deal similar to the six-year, $44.8 million contract Steven Jackson received from the St. Louis Rams two years ago are inaccurate.
“We’re not asking for Steven Jackson money, ” Smith said by telephone from his Denver, Colo., office. “We just want a fair deal.”
