Possible Michael Thomas Trade?

MT is gone. New coach will purge the problem children. We did just fine without him. One win away from the playoffs. MT would not have changed much.

Personally, I'm tired of these extensions to players who don't deserve them or won't be performing at the end of a very long contract. Peat is a prime example. Cut tail and run I say. We need a younger team to stay competitive against the salary cap and on the field.

Michael Thomas isn't going anywhere. It is both strategically and financially foolish to think of trading him. In trading him you lose an irreplaceable commodity. He's the best in the game at what he does. Also in replacing him you take on over $22 million in dead cap over one or two years with no corresponding return on the field. It's one thing to eat dead money if a player has no more ability remaining, but it is another to have that dead cap being wasted while the player is still in his prime on another roster. This is a business. The team doesn't care what some butthurt fans might feel.

You said the same thing about SP the day before he said he was stepping away. Forgive me for not taking your word for it.

Yup. Best viewing numbers in 25 years in some windows. Fastest growing sports product in the world and it's not even close.
