I'm not doubting he is hurt or his desire. I am just trying to understand how he got this hurt from being rolled up the back of his ankle at the end of the Tampa game 3 years ago? Is it different legs/feet or the same one over and over?

I’m disappointed that Mike’s season is probably over. But I feel worse for the player. From the outside looking in, I know CGM has to be hurting. He wants to compete and prove his doubters wrong. He wants to be mentioned amongst the best to ever play his position. Imagine going from a top 3 receiver in the league to potentially starting from scratch.
I feel his pain.

It would be my guess that Thomas had input on the decisions surrounding his toe just like he had input on his ankle surgery last time. BOTH the Saints medical staff AND Thomas come off looking bad on this.

I become more frustrated with this guy by the day! Get him healthy and trade him before he gets a hang nail and has to retire anyway!

Who though?

A team looking for a WR would need one that plays.

he hasn't lived up to his contract by no means, looked great up to that point but nada after signing it. If traded we're getting nothing if anything for him and keeping him here and paying for no return sux also. I think the Saints are stuck with a walking accident prone wr that can't stay healthy, I could care less if it's his fault or not, he's not contributed in how many games? in how many years? That don't cut the mustard in my book, potential or not.

People keep posting this when it's patently not true. 2019 with 149 catches and 1725 yards, an all-Pro season, and Offensive Player of the Year came after signing the contract.

While it's true that the guy has been hurt, and that a lack of communication between the player and team in the 2021 offseason caused a delay in his return, to say that he's done nada since signing the contract is just bunk.'

I think we could get Matt Ryan or Carson Wentz for him, but suffice it to say I would rather cut him. He is not worth his salary because at least 9 times out of 10 a player who is hurt 40 of 50 games over 3 years will never come back and be consistently healthy again, perhaps even 99 out of 100 times, its hard to think of even one player coming back while its easy to think of dozens who didnt. So he is not worth his salary unless he is worth 10x his salary if healthy, and he is not worth $150+ million per year healthy. So he is a logical post june 1 cut unless one is living in total denial.

I wish Victor Cruz and Michael Thomas the best of luck on the golf course in the future. I am sure they would both love to contribute to our team in 2023. They seem like great people. Realistically Victor would be cheaper than Mike and I expect their 2023 contributions will be similar so if I had to choose I would go with Victor. He wants to prove his doubters wrong and the talent is all there.
