Re: Let's Talk Trade Deadline

It sucks being salary cap constrained right now. The draft picks I don't have an issue with moving especially if it's a young impactful player. Not being able to re-sign him regulates us to bargin bin shopping.

Thankfully we do have the horses here to compete. We just need to get them healthy and/or coached up properly.

We need a first round pick for a decent QB! Thomas is my choice for a trade!

Red Rocket is doing well above expectations... he's young enough to stick around until Joe Bureaux comes here as a free agent.

A healthy Mike Thomas makes this team better. Despite everything I would not trade this player. He's a game changing talent for our future QB for the next 2-4 years.

When we get to next offseason we'll actually see where MT13's head is in terms of the Saints. If he really wants to stay, he'll have to take a pay cut. Not a restructure, but an actual drop in pay. If he's unwilling to negotiate that, then the Saints will trade him after June 1st for whatever they can get and take the $25 million cap hit over 2023 and 2024.

But until then, the player isn't going anywhere. All we can hope is that he gets healthy and can be productive down the stretch.

I want to believe MT's health and productivity down the stretch are more likely than not.

I'm tired of seeing it. We get it...some of y'all don't like Michael Thomas. It's around $10.5 million in dead money to move him this year. He's barely played. His stock his down. We wouldn't even get the value we desire. There are no great trade pieces on this team right now. Let him get healthy and let's see if we can make a playoff push. If it doesn't work out we can restructure his contract and trade him during the draft so the dead money isn't as bad.
