Why would MT report to camp? The guy’s one of the best in the league and our only good WR. Pay the man his worth.

I say report. You're gonna get your contract. Don't look like an idiot in the meantime!

Keep that same energy when he gets his new contract (and he will) and goes out there and continues to perform at a high level.

What can happen with MT in the first week, or even the first month, of training camp outside of him getting injured? That would be idiotic.

I feel too many of us fans only see situations like this from the fan's perspective. For NFL players, this is their livelihood, their business. It's a hell of a lot more important to take care of business as opposed to conditioning drills, practice reps, and preseason games. MT has absolutely nothing to prove to anyone on the practice field. I'd be perfectly happy if he sat training camp out just as long as he's ready for the Texans week one. That goes for Brees, Kamara, Jordan, Lattimore, and the like too. They just need to be ready and uninjured for the season. If taking a couple of days, or a couple of weeks off in the preseason accomplishes that, then that's great as far as I'm concerned.

Seems Mike Thomas signs first at $20mil/annum, and then Julio Jones who had better total raw yardage numbers...

Mike had one more touchdown, more catches, and a better catch rate/percentage...
