That's even better news than my optimistic estimate of six weeks! I've heard everything from eight weeks to the entire season around here. It sounds like five weeks would be the outside number. Hopefully we'll see him back before that.

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

I’d take a flyer on Tim Patrick. He is a decent WR that runs good routes with the ability to get open.

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

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.

Lls want to trade him because his body hasn't healed ? Don't get me wrong initially I felt like this could've been a red flag maybe Mike in a sense giving a F U to the saints. But I talked to someone NOT a Saints fan and he can't control that. At least only to a certain extent. If this is a matter of negligence on Mike behalf that would be tough pill to swallow, but if uts just of matter of unforseen circumstances on the Org and him there is NOTHING he can do about that. If we can't get twice the value trading him is pointless. Trade Mike to draft another WR? we're in the.same boat especially if the WR pans out he's going to be 100 million dollar man too
