Pierre Thomas, Houston Texans fail to agree terms on move

Talks have broken down between the Houston Texans and Pierre Thomas, according to his agent.

The running back is a free agent following his release from the New Orleans Saints after eight seasons in Louisiana.

The Texans are on the lookout for a new running back following the news that Arian Foster needs surgery on a groin problem.

However, Thomas's agent has said that a deal has not been agreed after talks on Tuesday.

#NFL Pierre Thomas had a great visit and work out with texans, unfortunately we were unable to agree on terms.
