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.

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.

Any new contract would undoubtedly include that type of language. Games played, snaps taken, yardage, catches, TD's, etcetera. Even though the missed time wasn't the fault of Thomas, he still was not available. We've all seen several veteran contracts reworked for these very same reasons over the years.
