Rumor

K Major · 01-23-2023, 01:39 PM

Too much money for a player (elite when healthy) that hasn't seen the field in almost 2 seasons & will be on the other side of 30 in March.

Mike is a dawg (again when healthy) but it's time to move on.

If Payton is still your HC ...maybe but I don't see MT playing for the Saints in 2023. Probably cut with a post-June designation (by pass the roster bonus).

Add WR to the list of "needs" on the roster.

We should find a way to keep him. Dallas wins that game last night with MT on the roster. Heck we probably win 2 or 3 additional games with MT active, thus making the playoffs.

I said pretty much the same thing a few days ago, cmike, but had the number of extra wins as high as five. We had so many tight games we barely lost that could have been easy wins with a couple of 1st downs or even single TD's.

You're correct, but this is the problem with your scenario.

Thomas has dealt with two totally unrelated injuries that has kept him out of games. There's no reason why he couldn't play the next five or more years never missing a snap. I'd take that chance in a second on a reworked "prove it" contract.

It qualifies as a consistently problematic $cenario.

MT’s absence shouldn’t be the most concerning issue. Thomas had 3 TD’s. Olave is the only receiver that had more. This should be higher on the list.
Pitiful

The receivers were open all season long. Dalton couldn't get them the ball. Let's not forget that Thomas' TD's came from the arm of Winston.

In constrast, I hope the man Harley has found an angle that means that we have to discard the one time rightly highly esteemed MT.

All good things come to an end, with a new ccle of good to follow.
