He'll be back possibly then; he won't be full strength, fully conditioned until at least the six-eight week mark...

Looks like near City Park; msg'd to get the details and will update...

Smart PR move considering social media blew up with a lot of negativity, shade thrown his way...

He's got some good PR folks advising him (having Keyshawn in the family provides a lot of experience dealing with bad press)...

Last year WBRZ ran a headline that Michael Thomas helped pay off $2Mil in Medical Debt for struggling families; but when you read the details, headline is misleading...

Still no small chunk of change he donated $20K to a group that buys medical debt and forgives it; still noble to lend his name to the cause as well as the $20K...

But when word hit the street, #FakeCorporateNews would lead you to think he gave $2Mil; that's the world we live...

I think N Harry is a bust - this was a guy I was super high on coming out of college. This goes to show I know NOTHING on scouting talent at the NFL level :p.

So much has to fall in place, a guy can suck it in one place and be a boon elsewhere...

Considering the total investment, teams should have unlimited visits, interviews with players...

I heard a report yesterday that Thomas could return to play as early as week three. If that is truly the case it can be a factor on who we pick up, when we pick them up, or if we pick anyone up at all. Any veteran will be guaranteed a full year's salary if signed prior to the first game. At least that is the standard rule. I'm not sure if that is among the tweaked rules for the COVID seasons.

Dang! I'm less enamored with Thomas every single day. Trade him.
