Unless of course he doesn’t want to be in New Orleans & he’s already gone on record as being ready to put the injury bug behind him and back to balling on Sundays. The franchise better have a damn good Plan B if he isn’t a part of this team in 2023 & beyond. We already know what we have in the supporting cast @ WR . |

Re: Michael Thomas back in New Orleans and in a good place
I've heard more about the CAP lately, more than I really wanted to but everything that I'm hearing says the CAP hit would be too big for a trade or cut. He may sit out but I can't see another scenario.

After the intial injury, I forget how many games he came back and how many receptions did he catch? Not the same Thomas, now he is just worried about that big payday he received and would like to keep it going. Saints can drive up his value for trade. The worry is who would replace him? |

Re: Michael Thomas back in New Orleans and in a good place
The only reason there is constant talks about trading Michael Thomas on this forum is because people don’t like him. Once the million dollar race horse gets out of line and says the wrong thing they have to be put down for their lack of appreciation. Rams aren’t trying to move Cooper Kupp. Chiefs aren’t trying to move Tyreek Hill. Packers don’t want to lose Davante Adams. But here are the Saints fans trying to move a top WR talent on a team that is deprived at that position and doesn’t have a QB. The QB whisperer is gone. You need all the talent you can get at these skill positions now. We aren’t about to scheme our way out of **** anymore.

Re: Michael Thomas back in New Orleans and in a good place
I wouldn’t trust the Saints organization when it comes to managing an injury either. Delvin Breaux comes to mind.

Re: Michael Thomas back in New Orleans and in a good place
Keyshawn spoke to that a while back in an interview I saw on the MT situation. He didn't call out the organization but he spoke to MTs career and long term future. If it were me I wouldn't never trust the team. Any team. Always get whatever they tell you verified.
