Oh, by the way, Michael Thomas is back at practice today. No surprise. |

Sure would have liked your money. Just being right with no reward gets old. By the way, why do you care one way or another if you claim you aren't watching any games? Although, it would explain why you are so out of touch with reality. ![]() |

Cutting or trading Thomas this season would result in a $20 million cap hit because of accelerated guarantees and bonuses. He cannot be traded or released (even if they would ever dream to do either) this year. Next year would still cost the Saints $14 million in dead cap which the Saints will not have, especially if Brees decides to retire. 2022 is the earliest that they can separate from Thomas if they even wanted to. All they could do is sit him and continue paying him and that would be as ridiculous as your goofy assed scenario. I'm sorry but you have no sense of reality. ![]() Edit: By the way, what the hell is a kwan? ![]() |

Telling us that we don’t understand how great they are at doing the impossible when it comes to “kicking the can” down the proverbial road.

They talked about this very scenario on Moving the Chains a couple of days ago when a caller suggested the Falcons should trade Julio Jones. They said that it was impossible to trade him until 2022 because of his contract cap hit, which is very similar to Thomas'. The same with Matt Ryan. |
