What will they do with Thomas for the remainder of the season? idk. Anybody else have any ideas?

Well, suppose they don't trade him this season. The have to play him because what's the trade value for an expensive wide receiver who sat out the year with attitude issues?

Also, rumors are a lot of this started with him criticizing Brees in the off season. What if Brees isn't back next year? Does his attitude improve?

That's a great question!

What we heard is that Mike is an extremely emotional guy. That's one of the factors that make him so great, his competitiveness. Could the Saints just stash him till the year is over? What example would that set for the locker room? Personally, I don't want to lose MT.

What kind of question is that? It sounds like something a second rate blog would come up with just to attempt to generate clicks. Let me guess, your reference to "we" leads me to believe that you may yourself be associated with a blog site. Am I correct? And, if so, what site may that be?

Stashing the defending NFC Offensive Player of the Year until the season is over makes as much sense as benching Kamara to save him for next season.
