Man I love this guy's fire and work ethic. But I kept wondering if he was going to turn into one of those class A *******s after he got paid.

And it's starting to look like he has. Reports of him fighting with teammates, being insubordinate to coaches and accusing staff members of stupid ****.

If he thinks he's bigger than the organization, please get rid of him. I hate that crap.

Paywall articles everywhere you turn these days.

Maybe he learns from it. Maybe he doesn't. However, if he doesn't learn something he would be a very valuable trade asset. I want to be clear that I don't want to see him play elsewhere. He's a game changer and I want him to be a Saint for life.

“After he got paid”. He ain’t been paid..., yet, lol.

Thomas needs to be careful...

"Per the language of the contract, a copy of which PFT has obtained, the suspension makes those guarantees “null and void.” That would leave Thomas without the full financial security that comes from his long-term contract, and it would allow the Saints to easily move on from him after either of the next two seasons if his performance dips, if he can’t stay healthy, or if they simply decide they’ve had enough."

They technically didn't suspend him, but if he continues to act out, there is a easy avenue for the Saints to get out of his deal.

Time and place for everything getting into with a coach or public statements of displeasure ... Just ask Brandin Cooks How fast the train left the NO Saints Station.

Having said that hope MT is around for a long time but this was not a good look.

Makes me miss Marques Colston.

MT is probably at this point one of the best receivers we've had, but I'd trade that in a heart beat if we could have 10 more years of Marques Colston not saying a word and just executing.

I just read today that he wasn't suspended but he was benched and fined a game check. If he had been suspended the Saints had the right to keep a huge amount of money according to his contract and that might signal that his time in Nawlins' could be in jeopardy.

We can still suspend him if his attitude doesn't improve and he has another outbreak so we can trade him and save a ton of money on his guaranteed money, iirc, and not take a huge hit on the cap which would make him even more appealing to a trade partner. I will say again that I don't want to trade him, but if he becomes a distraction we have that option. Hopefully he sees things in a new perspective.

Sounds like he has Junior Gallete working with him.
