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. |

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. SFIAH |

Re: Let's Talk Trade Deadline
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.
