That'll be the highest for a few days. Julio's deal will pass that up, as will Amari Cooper's. In two years Thomas will likely be the 7th or 8th highest paid WR in the league and still producing in the top two or three.

I know you're right, but I still gagged a little when I saw the numbers.

This comment by a Falcon Fan was kind of funny to me

"This board just cant give credit where it's due smh. He does not have julio or AB skill set but he still is one of the best receivers in the game even with that. He catches almost everything thrown his way. Whether he Drew Brees is there or not is irrelevant. He is still an elite receiver. People sh*t on him because he's confident and has smoked our corners".

But the Saints made him the first to break the barrier, and he should be able to make the car note without the repo man harassing him...

Don't see us paying Rankins beyond this year now because we have Onyemata, Lattimore, Ramczyk, Marcus Williams, Kamara and Anzalone to compensate...
