If he was 100% ready to go why would the Saints consider trading him now when they can let him earn that 2022 salary this season and get the same 2023 1st round pick after the season without taking the dead money hit?

Answer to #1…IDK. Maybe there are teams that feel like you do and aren’t doubting his recovery. Maybe his goods aren’t 100 percent healthy but a damaged Thomas is still darn good. Maybe they only get a second pick for thomas. It still could happen. (None of this I am advocating for).
2) Maybe both he and the team want a new start? Maybe he is secretly unhappy about not being the big fish in the little pond of the small market that is New Orleans. He now has to share spotlight with Olave and the LSU connection That is Landry/Honeybadger/and possibly an OBJ reunion? Maybe he felt a real connection to Brees and Payton and doesn’t like the chemistry between himself/Winston/Allen?
All this is BS speculation by me. I don’t want nor do I think he will be traded. I’m just replying to the idea it CAN’T happen.
But I will say this; Based on his actions, availability, and openness over the last two seasons, there is no doubt in my mind that Jameis Winston wants to be the quarterback of the New Orleans Saints. Based upon his actions, availability, and openness over the last two seasons, there is doubt in my mind that Michael Thomas wants to be a WR on the Saints. |
