I hope The Dude realizes that his declaration that Michael Thomas would not be in a Saints uniform this coming season just went up in smoke. I haven't seen the details yet, but restructures like this take current year base salary and converts it to signing bonus which is then prorated over the remainder of the contract. This means that full amount is now guaranteed and would hit the books if the player is cut or traded.

Sorry, Dude, Thomas isn't going anywhere.
