He wants to prove his doubters wrong and the talent is all there.

The comment would hit a little harder if Victor Cruz wasn’t 35. OBJ would be the better comparison.

Brees got him paid and he quit. Hopefully he won't be a Saint in 2023. Olave, Callaway and Shaheen don't need his cancer in the room.

Re: Michael Thomas to IR

I hate it for the team. As someone said earlier, Turf Toe is no joke! At least he's getting surgery NOW. i sincerely hope he gets better. I also sincerely hope that Loomis is looking to cut bait and starts shopping for buyers. We need a Beast, not a Glass Tiger. If he can't stay healthy, then he's no good to us.

Sadly, I'm out of patience and seriously done with Thomas.

Rez, even a dope would acknowledge that you don't go under the knife, just to 'fake it'. But I hear you. The hate runs deep in some of our fans.

They should get it from Payton since he had MT in there blocking when he shouldn't have in the 4th qtr with the game in hand. Just dumb.

Good luck with that. It doesn't make sense to cut or trade him from my understanding.

Re: Michael Thomas to IR

Ugh. Well…at least the wait is officially over. No more sitting around waiting to see if he comes back. Good grief. I’m just over it at this point. Put him on IR and let’s not mention his effing name the rest of the season. Glad I didn’t pay him. Lol.

Base salaries of $15MM and $18MM in the next two years. I'd certainly say so.

Plus he'll be 30 in March.

For context, similarly talented WRs who've also suffered multiple injuries:

Julio Jones is 33 and just about dead.

AJ Green, 34 and nothing left to contribute.

Re: Michael Thomas to IR

It seems like whatever injury Thomas has, you multiply the normal recovery time by 8.

My wife might suggest it's the #13 bringing him this bad luck. At this point, none of us should refute that.
