From what I hear Payton has to keep him and Davenport separated anyway. Thomas keeps on threatening to punch Davenport for taking up so much room on his bench. Wouldn’t want him to sprain his wrist and miss another year.

I'd put Will Lutz in that same category.

Verity ? ... Verity? ... anyone, anyone .

Care to place a small wager on that?

Even if he starts practicing today he still won’t be in game shape. I seriously doubt Payton is going to dump a full load on him his first game back. Dude is physical as all get out and nobody is going to want him to step on the field day one and get back to snatching the ball away in double coverage.

What odds are you offering ?

Odds? I'm am wagering that Michael Thomas gets a snap in a Saints game this season. Why would "odds" need to be required? $20? Thomas plays a snap, I win. If he doesn't, you'll win.

But I'll consider odds. What are your odds that Thomas doesn't take a snap this year as you said wouldn't surprise you?

A quick look shows his due about 12 mill next year. Not sure how that fits in.

With the salary cap set to escalate, that would be a deal for an elite WRz...
