That .02 cents is worth about a buck fifty.

Sounds like he no longer wants to be a Saint. Has he gone mental on us?

They cant do it it

They can save 15ml cutting or trading him next year. I don't think he plays this year and is gone next year. Another one given a big contract and starts to act the fool after it.

Something needs done in the rules to punish players and not the teams for things like this. He has blown off his obligation to at least try and be in shape for the season. By not turning up to deal with a injury knowing you will get paid regardless and can then rehab when you should be playing so you can do whatever he's been doing the last 4 months is ridiculous.

Something needs added to contracts that if you screw up and get a serious arrest the teams should be able to cut you and not suffer the cap penalties. I don't mean for a DUI etc but something major. Same if you are injured and you don't even turn up for medicals,put off surgery till camp and miss games the teams shouldn't have to get stung on the cap for that.

I think Calloway will have a big year and MT will become expendable next year when we actually save money by sending him off. I’m sure we could probably get a 1st for him.

This is why you don’t pay top dollar for diva positions. They go belly up once paid. Thought Thomas would be different, but apparently not. Looks like he’s going to be a cap burden for years to come, trade bait next year perhaps? Now let’s see if AK does the same…

There are often two sides to a story so it would be good to hear Mike's. But it's not looking good. It would seem smart to prepare the offense in a way that we are not expecting Thomas to return, ever.

Re: Jeff Duncan | How unanswered calls contributed to delay in Michael Thomas' surgery
 

If I remember right there is a clause of some sort that makes his contract voidable if he gets suspended. The FO did him a solid last year by not officially suspending him when he got into it with coach Payton. It sounds like the organization has tried their hardest to make Thomas happy and he just doesn’t want to be here. They need to suspend him for the next dumb ass thing he inevitably does, void his contract and get rid of him. I’ll be curious to find out if he’s still elite without the most accurate Qb in the business throwing to him.

It's a shame seeing what these promising Rookie Wide Receivers turn into.

First Brandin Cooks goes from promising rookie to complaining about not getting the ball during a 84 reception, 1138 yard season.

Now Thomas goes from fantastic rookie, to fighting with his own teammates, ignoring coaches calls / required surgeries and arguing with anyone and everyone on Twitter. He's basically becoming T.O but without game breaking ability.

Ship him to wherever Cam the Scam is playing, the Jets Denver, Philly and let see how productive he is with someone other than DB … good luck :biggun:

This from the guy who came down on Drew for saying he respected the flag. More I think about this the more it ticks me off (though it does not surprise me). Extremely low class if it indeed played out this way. I commented in another thread that this didn’t add up. Others were trying to cover for him by mumbling about second opinions and “do no harm” lines.
