I want someone playing for the team who cares about more than just themselves. He turned into a Diva like his uncle Keyshawn. That's just selfish and I don't like it. I'm not a hater but I'm deeply disappointed in how much effort he put into avoiding the training staff, which was little to none!

Yes, I still have a problem with paying him all that money to not be available because he solely chose not to answer the damn phone.

Hit the nail right on the head Rugs.

When he was a rookie I was wowed by his determination and how hard he worked, but the success he had early on has really gone to his head.
Cryptic Tweets, arguing with NFL players because they didn't include you in their fictitious scenarios, ignoring coaches calls whilst being paid an absolute ton.

When Brees left, Thomas had an opportunity to be the "Cam Jordan" or "Demario" of the offense and lead by example, which he didn't do.

I personally don't think he'll ever get back to how he was before, and therefore think we need to move on when it's financially viable for the team to do so.

Allen seems to value the WR position, one can be found that values team first.

I think that we're pretty loaded at wr now, even if Thomas was here or not.

I’m fully pulling for Thomas to come back to the Saints 100%. I hope he is a better receiver than he was in his record setting year and he helps lead the team to a second Lombardi trophy.

I’m also a realist. He hasn’t played a game in well over a season. Since he got the big contract he reportedly ghosted his coach, FO, and training staff. He got into a fight with another teammate and got suspended. He didn’t have his HOF QBs back on social media. Now he’s still not healthy and more is known about Winston’s status (who makes himself ready for interviews and has several clear rehab videos) than his because all we’ve see are two videos that don’t
even show his face and Allen saying he’s “rehabbing”.

You and I started jousting about the same thing in the thread above. You continue again with a new thread and you act like anyone that doesn't share the same sentiment is off their rocker. Continue on with your mancrush, but it is obvious not everyone shares in your positivity, face it.

Again, if by some miracle he returns to form without Brees at the helm, I will gladly eat a big plate of crow.

We need him back and healthy. The two reasons he was ever upset in the first place are gone and he seems to be in a far better head space because of it. I just wanna win a Super Bowl and I don’t believe we can do it this year without him.

It is a team sport, so yes, if he plays and we win a Superbowl, he would be a contributor.

I’m not doubting it is him. I am wondering why he isn’t posting videos that remove the doubt.

At this point I’ve seen as much verifiable footage of Bigfoot as I have of Michael Thomas working out and being ready to play.

I wonder if Bigfoot likes Popeyes Sammiches like Peat does...

Thomas most likely isn't out there posting numerous videos like Winston's management team because that has never been his style. He's never really been that sort on social media. Much more subdued and cryptic. The two recent video have been posted by someone other than himself. The video from the opening post appears to be a basic video showing his footwork. There's no reason to show his whole body unless it was to self promote like Winston's management team has been doing.
