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.

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.

As I stated before, turf toe is no joke.

Oh well.
Funny how that certain poster disappears when things happen that don't fit into his little fantasy world.

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.'

Papz I'm in the "football shape" camp that believes you have to play football to get into football shape. I know the league has cut a lot of contact out in the off and preseason due to risk of injury but it looks like all they did was Loomis injuries into the regular season. There is a level of muscle, joint, and tendon conditioning that only comes from full speed impact.

I agree with that. We only can control what we can but it still wouldn't hurt to try to optimize training the best we can, when we can.

I always wondered why more sports teams don't implement more yoga into their regimen. Maybe they do and it's not publicized but one would think it would pay some dividends.



Man I jammed my toe about 3 weeks ago and not only is it still purple, it hurts as hell. I for one will not rag on Thomas' turf toe. Sucks he's constantly hurt. He was on track of becoming a Hall of Famer.

Re: Michael Thomas to IR

Well, most of us knew that this was a strong possibility. It's too bad for can't call Mike. However, I wish him well and hope he can suit up for the Saints again. It's too bad that we can't trade him for a player that can get on the field. But it is what it is.
