Yikes! Not returning calls from the coaches, blowing off doctor appointments and then showing up this summer still injured. What a disaster.

What a clown.

Wish we still had guys like Colston, Henderson, Meachem and Moore instead of Thomas.

We've got who we've got. As long as he helps us win games when he's out there then that's all that matters to me. The same with any other player

But not returning calls from your coach & Saints front office staff? … For months? I’m just a casual fan but that is a very bad look from Mike.

Winning is hard enough but he put this team in a bad spot.

We’ll have to see how this plays out down the road but I find it hard to see this ending well for Mike and his future in New Orleans.

My .02.

That .02 cents is worth about a buck fifty.

Don’t forget that Mike’s little suspension last season apparently wasn’t necessarily for punching CJGJ in practice, but rather for a confrontation with Payton afterwards. Something weird has been brewing. I don’t think he wants to be here without Brees.

I'm just saying as long as he is here and can produce I am cool and positive for my team. If in the future he needs to go, then fine.

He not here for the team and wasn’t there for them last year. I gave him the benefit of the doubt last year but now he is just a salary cap issue.

If he doesn’t want to be available for us then let him go somewhere else.

I hope he comes back healthy plays and plays at high level so that when, not if, SP and ML trade his noncom a$$

for starting talent in the secondary, OLG, OLT with high character team first attitude.
