David Thomas

I watched every minute of every game this year. And if you'd pay David Thomas rougly $100K less than Pierre Thomas is going to make this year, then you are either high on something or just like thinking about real dollars in monopoly dollars terms. Good, let's pay everyone on the team $10MM a year!! It's not your money, why would you care?

I think Dave "Wendys" Thomas was an integral part of our offense. His versatility alone (receiving TE, Blocker, H-Back) warrants the Saints extending his contract; which I believe they will do. Is he a threat deep down the middle of the field (like Shockey is)? NO. Does he provide good value? YES. Can he stay healthy (unlike Shockey)? YES. Will he be re-signed? YES.

He provides good value at the right price. Totally agree. That price is not $1.5 MM next year. Sorry.

I like the guy a lot, although in our offense the second tight end looks good pretty often.

It seems like this type of player- (the Millers, that guy from Yale, even Dinkins) does well in our system

David Thomas is better than Shockey after the catch. He's more versatile too. Thomas keeps his feet after making catch adjustments (unlike Shockey) and has good vision when going downhill. He was solid for us this year. The front office will decide what he's worth, make him an offer, and I hope he takes it.

You and me both....Pay the man

Me three. But I bet it won't be $1.5MM next year. Want to put some money on it?

Who cares man...would it make you feel better to be right?

stockman311 · 03-08-2010, 12:44 PM

I already feel great. I know I'm right. Do I know how much the team is going to pay Jahri Evans or Drew Brees this offseason? No, but I have a pretty good idea, for anyone interested.
