Just come out of the closet already.

Re: Michael Thomas deletes account after criticism for insensitive comment about Derek Carr’s injury
 

Carr shares some blame for certain things this year, one of the biggest ones I Believe is lack of accountability.

However, that being said, Michael Thomas has proven time and time again that he's a Twitter warrior.

He appears to lack any form of maturity when it comes to adversity and can't let the team handle things. He just has to air his feelings on social media, sometimes disguising it as "just song lyrics."

I guess it was just a matter of time for MT to return to his old form. During his run up to being injured he had ruins with players and SP. I feel like what we were told or knew was the tip of the iceberg. Throw in his lack of commo withe the team an medical staff, complete fail on his part to effectively rehab or accurately gage his recovery lead to the first lost season.

Like Carr hate Carr he is not the only QB to throw a ball that brought some hurt to the receiver, happens to all of them. I remember the pounding Closton would take especially in the End Zone. Nobody call Brees out for setting him up.

To take this to social media is high school drama BS. He is not a number 1 receiver anymore but yet carries the Prima Donna affectation.

No way he should be brought back regardless of the cap hit ….

Yeah those seam passes and jump balls put Colston in some dangerous spots and he just got on with it.

I can't say I'm surprised with MT, he had several great years because of Brees and then immediately threw him to the wolves when Brees made comments about the American Flag.

who gives 2 sh*ts, really. I mean this, who actually gives a sh*t?

A wide receiver complaining about being a wide receiver.

Wake me when there's real news.

Quido does.... doh! :beatnik:

Re: Michael Thomas deletes account after criticism for insensitive comment about Derek Carr’s injury
 

Thomas is a blip on the Saints history chart.... nothing more and a lot less. :beatnik:

Re: Michael Thomas deletes account after criticism for insensitive comment about Derek Carr’s injury
 

Its great we are talking about a player who hasn't been relevant in the league since 2019. Those 20 games and 1100 yards and 4TDs has been worth the hassle and contract.

Drama is cute, fun, funny, media and fan appreciated, great for laughs, media coverage…lF YOU ARE WINNING. Only if you are winning.

Re: Michael Thomas deletes account after criticism for insensitive comment about Derek Carr’s injury
 

except financially

Re: Michael Thomas deletes account after criticism for insensitive comment about Derek Carr’s injury
 

That's a blip, as well, moving forward. That contract will be chicken feed in a handful of years based upon the CBA and broadcast contracts. That CBA guarantees the players' share of all revenues is 48.8% and as long as the revenues keep climbing (which is locked in for the next decade) player contracts will climb.

The fact is that haters are gonna hate and excuses are excuses as for why people hate people they decide they are gonna hate.

Re: Michael Thomas deletes account after criticism for insensitive comment about Derek Carr’s injury
 

With all of this *****ing about how much Thomas has cost the Saints the fact is that in his eight years in the league he has only received $72,520,383 cash. His 2024 salary would be $1.21 million.

Re: Michael Thomas deletes account after criticism for insensitive comment about Derek Carr’s injury
 

There is a domino effect. We will likely take the cap hits and write off Thomas and Winston's deals this year, with some hit also possible to the 2025 salary cap. But Thomas's contract was one reason we had to restructure other risky veteran contracts in the previous offseason and extend Winston even though we had no intention to use him. And Thomas and Winston's dead cap hits in 2024 and 2025 offseasons will make it hard to afford to be able to move on from other contracts we might like to or be smart to get out of like Ram, Carr, Lattimore, Kamara, Maye, Hill, etc. In act it will force us to restructure most of those players and make it even harder to move on when they are even older. Having to keep one diminishing player too long because we can't afford the long term cap savings of a short term cap hit leads to having to keep the next round of diminishing players too long because we can't afford the long term cap savings of a short term cap hit. All this has happened before and all this will happen again, as long as Mickey is running the show.

Re: Michael Thomas deletes account after criticism for insensitive comment about Derek Carr’s injury
 

That salary is a meaningless placeholder. It is a void year.

A better way of looking at Michael Thomas's career earnings is that he made $4 million his first 4 years from 2016-2019 as a 2nd round draft pick, which is what 2nd round picks earn. From 2020-2023 he made $68 million for like 20 games, 1000 yards, 4 TDs. His extension was technically signed in 2019 but he was already under contact then for cheap, so basically it was a bonus to continue 2020 and beyond that did not work out well. It was worth a try, but a team in a better cap situation would have cut bait earlier.

Re: Michael Thomas deletes account after criticism for insensitive comment about Derek Carr’s injury
 

Mickey's going to keep running the show for many years to come whether you, or anyone else, likes it. I have this somewhat guilty feeling of pleasure just knowing how it pisses you off after putting up with two years of your constant bellyaching. :D
