Michael Thomas Out for Start of Season

Gotta get on those phones and propose a trade.

Relying on a 2nd year player and 3quan isn’t gonna be enough.

It may have to be.

I doubt that. Tre and Callaway have yet to prove that they can stay healthy. Will Sean allow these guys (K Baker as well) to compete? Absolutely but they will start bringing in veteran guys at some point for random workouts.

Emmanuel and Jared are no longer catching passes in NO.

I don't doubt they'll be shopping around. It just may not be possible to bring one in now. Given that Thomas is expected to return they may not want to bring in a veteran replacement until after the beginning of the season to avoid the full season salary. Regardless, I think this team is going to do some special things. Winning is as much a mindset as a roster. These players are used to winning on a regular basis. I just don't see them folding their tents and shutting it down.

Now we got two guys that can get the ball to Sanders - No Sanders. Wow...

I'm really pulling for Baker, great size and weight with really good hands. My dark horse so to speak.

This is from JANUARY. Why did it take 6 months?!

Elective surgeries were impossible to schedule for the beginning few months of the year. I know that for certain here in Louisiana. I suspect it was the same elsewhere. A guy in my Sunday School class had to wait from February until late May to have knee surgery. My niece works for an orthopedic clinic and they didn't do anything other than emergency surgery for months, as well. Not saying this is the definite reason, but it may have been a factor.

Then again, he may have hoped it would heal on its own.
