Maybe in the NBA, but not in the NFL.

Thomas is a proven vet who in many rankings is considered top 3 at his position & you want to trade him for a 1st rd selection who hasn't shown you anything ?

Mike will get paid in New Orleans, and deserving of everything he's got coming to him.

I understand he is a top wideout. But what about when brees is gone? Will he still produce? Highly doubtful he will come close to the same numbers

So you want our next QB to have no talent at WR to work with?

Not at 22 million. Id rather sign AK and some solid cheaper Wr. Again, I know he's a beast but we have been in cap hell recently and It's not going to get any better with signings like this.
