Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract

Ability not in question.

Availability may be.

Still, this team is better with him than without.

Yup. I agree. Hopefully that roulette wheel of sports injuries will avoid the double zeroes this season. It is simply blind assed bad luck to suffer two basically season ending, unrelated injuries like he encountered.

Big time, brother!

Edit: But ... Thomas can put up 150 catches for 15 TD's and 1500 yards and haters will keep hating.

Truth. I don't get it either. Dude doesn't get into off season trouble, doesn't bad mouth the team, plays hard when he is physically able, but get's called all kinds of names. Insane if you ask me.

A little from the link above:

“I kinda just fuel off the doubt,” Thomas said. “Some people say if you don’t have any haters, you ain’t popping. I mean, I really use it as fuel for me. I mean if you doubt me, first off you’re probably not in my shoes. And now I’m just gonna go harder and then I’m gonna prove you wrong.”

It's why the chip sitting on his shoulder is bigger than it’s ever been.

“(The chip) grows every day,” Thomas said. “But that’s a good thing about this game. You get to go out there and you get to attack someone. And then you get to go out there and you get to compete at a high level and score points and win games, so that’s why I love it most.”

“Like I said, I have real strong faith in God, and I know it was a process to get here,” Thomas said. “And I didn’t cheat that process. So eventually if you don’t cheat that process and you stick to the grind, you’ll reap the rewards and the benefits. So it allowed me to come back out here. And like I said, I’m just fine-tuning everything."

I’m sorry, but this talk about a “chip “growing on his shoulder is….strange….in my opinion. So pointing out the extraordinarily high number of games he’s missed over the past few seasons is now some kind of disrespect? The vast majority of football watchers know he is still effective when he can play. This idea of looking to be offended or needing a reason to have put a chip on your shoulder is ridiculous. How about he Just try as hard as he can to get back on the field for his own sake and the case of the contract you are playing under rather than to get back at some shadowy figures for perceived wrongs done? That’s the kind of stuff that makes him sound like a Prima Donna to some.
