We would regret dumping Michael Thomas the way Atlanta regrets dumping Matt Ryan today.

You have to respect your enemies. You can't just say we will do nothing they do ever. Do you never want a new stadium? Do you never want a good salary cap situation? We have to keep up with the Jones to beat the Joneses. I can't imagine any world where their parting ways with Julio Jones and Matt Ryan was not a resounding success. Clearly continuing to pay those players would have been an anchor on their franchise. Now they go into 2023 with more cap and more draft picks and less aging dead weight, when they already have a better record and younger team than us this year. We have to respect that if we intend to surpass it. Thomas and Peat are our Jones and Ryan. We need to take the plunge and get rid of them. If your rival starts running laps and makes a fast time you don't say you want do it because they did, you run faster. If anything, we should get rid of more dead weight and clear more cap than the Falcons. You don't win a game of HORSE by quitting. You match their shot and then you do them one better.
