Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear

And now he’s out for the season.

This guy.
This guy that waited until the start of the season to have surgery.
This guy didn't return phone calls from the Saints coaches and Front Office.

I think I hate this guy.

I have been telling friends for a few weeks that I don't think Thomas will ever be healthy again. Nagging ankle issues, trying to play through them, delayed surgery, delayed recovery, disputes with team... We might as well resign Cameron Meredith, place him on IR, and circle the date of his return on the calendar with all our hopes and dreams.

Also I think there is one team that would be willing to trade for Michael Thomas at this point. The Raiders are willing to do an even swap for Henry Ruggs.

We should have traded for a receiver.

Or perhaps drafting a WR three seasons ago?

I get it going “safe” with olineman early but you also need playmakers at skilled positions. 2022 draft needs to focus more on the wideout spot.

We don’t have a #1 or legit 2 on the roster.

I agree, they had that Drew had turned no named guys into solid guys mentality and got complacent. Now it’s biting them in the ass. Should of been drafted a receiver or two the past couple of years, knowing a twilight Drew needed actual talented receivers.

I’m going to be honest and people might not like this take but the saints have some blame in this too. Having him in a game in garbage time to get this injury in the first place. That game was over and you got your starters out there. And this medical staff is still questionable with these injuries we’ve been having seems to get worse every year. Guys out for long periods of time

Knowing the setback, they should of tried harder trying to get someone before the deadline

Knowing Thomas he waited until after the deadline to announce it just to be a dick. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

Maybe but I’m sure they had a good idea something wasn’t right with him or the rehab.

Yep. Otherwise they would have removed him from the PUP. That is why they tried to get a WR yesterday.
