Michael Thomas is gone. Just like drew, and sean.

I’m betting he tries to force a trade. Without a Qb or Payton nobody is going to want to play here. In todays NFL players like Thomas call the shots. He will try and weasel his way onto a team he thinks can get him a ring.
It’s going to be very tough unless we get very lucky like we did with Payton and Brees. I doubt Winston even wants to come back, especially if the Steelers rumors are true.

Hard to see how joining the Steelers would be more likely to win a SB over the Saints. If nothing else you’ve got to face the Ravens, Browns, and Benglas in your division twice a year. That’s murder compared to chickens, panties, and tampon.

Will a cap guru explain how you even consider trading Thomas? Per spotrac the dead cap hit would be massive.

Why have 3 holes at WR instead of 2? Oh, & what Free Agent QB would be willing to come and play for a team with no WRs?

Another hard sell. Don't see MT going anyplace.

Still butthurt over MT not playing LMAO

How much is one?

Re: Michael Thomas back in New Orleans and in a good place
 

You just gave them the answer yourself, K. With needing to clear around $76 million to reach the cap limit the chances of trading Michael Thomas is basically zero. It would add an additional $22.7 million in dead money. Cap savings would only be $2 million in 2022 with a pre-June 1 trade.

The Saints are more likely to convert his $15.5 million in base salary and/or his combined $950K in roster and workout bonuses to a signing bonus and free up a chunk toward that $76 million figure. That requires NOT trading him.

So, no, it makes zero sense to even consider trading him either financially or strategically.

Mike is absolutely saying all the right things right now. If that continues, he will likely be with the Saints for a very long time. If he decides to be disruptive, I can assure you the Saints will move on from him and deal with the cap hit.
