Well, given my degree is in Accounting and with all of the years I spent in journalism and data analytics, facts and info have pretty much been a huge part of the majority of my life. So, I can definitely identify with that, Rugs.

I mean the progress should be Thomas accepting a pay cut. Why now Carr is here, would Thomas magically get healthy after being out for nearly 3 seasons?

So are you saying since DCarr is now in the building @ QB, Can't call Mike has every intent on balling in 2023 but had no "interest" in playing with Dalton and/or Winston last season

?

Lol just tempering expectations I think, maybe my own, but either way

Just rubs me up the wrong way that Thomas / his agent actually gets a say in contract negotiations, when he's been absent for 42 games in the last 3 years.

I won’t say he had no interest, but he did say thank you Jesus after Carr was signed…😏

I’m gonna go against the grain here and say I really don’t care what he did or said to this point, if he stays healthy and balls out, I’m good with that.

Im also ok if they trade him for Derrick Henry and draft a stud receiver in the first round…

Yeah that contract would be on the skinny side if I'm Loomy. Little to no production in 3 years should = little paychecks. Might add some incentives to try to keep him out of the tub and on the field for a change. If he don't want to do it that way, don't let the door knob hit u in the a$$ on ur way out. I really would rather draft a wr in the 2nd. Cap hit or not, I'm over that dude.

100% agreed. Incentives is the way to go, knowing our luck they'll give him a 56M contract like Peat got after he nearly ended Brees' career.

Speaking of trades & draft - > important upcoming dates (3/13 & 4/27) in the NFL

Maybe Thomas thanked Jesus for Carr’s signing not because of any plans to produce on the field with Carr, but because he realized the Saints absorbing Carr’s contract would make the Saints unable to afford the cap hit to cut Thomas and would force the Saints to negotiate a long term deal to continue paying Thomas to sit on the sidelines. Thank You Jesus for the leverage to continue to be paid $10 million or more a year for nothing when he should be playing golf with Victor Cruz and Terrelle Pryor on his own dime.
