He ranked thusly among WRs:

REC (1st)

ReYD (6th)

ReTD (10th)

Re% (1st)

ReYd/Gm (8th)

Complete :bs:.

Anyone that believes Michael Thomas is a product of Brees hasn't watched games closely enough or understand football. Easily a top 3 WR in the league as a route runner and creating separation.

Those "let Brees turn these other WR"s into studs" days are long gone (see week 13 of 2018 and beyond).

Originally the number was 22M & the Saints brass offer was 18M. 20M is fair in today's market.

Agreed. But more importantly, the average amount per year is meaningless. What is important is the guaranteed amount and how soon it is realized. The Saints can give him a four year $100M deal with $40M guaranteed in the first two years that is actually worth less than a four year $80M deal with $50M guaranteed over the first three years.

If we go by PFR's rankings, MT was the best receiver last year with an AV ranking of 18. Also tied with Drew for the highest AV ranking on our team.

He was hands down the best receiver in the league last year and he caught around 60% of Brees' passes.

Cyril Grayson...

If he can somehow translate that track speed to football speed, he'd could do wonders on special teams/punt returns.

Per Pro Football Reference, it was 83%...83%...

Not really surprised by this news as Mike Thomas often shifted to the slot on third downs or in the red zone and Kirkwood was used for his size on the outside at the X-receiver spot...

Saw it his senior year film and his rookie year, amazing hands, catch radius...

I hope Cobbs is back to 100% and can really show the staff what he has to offer.
