“The #Saints have reported and WR Michael Thomas has not arrived at the facility, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. He’s seeking a new deal and the two sides are not there yet. Until they get there, he’ll stay away.”

Pay the man! He is actually some who is grossly underpaid!!!

@kvnklly pretty good money in minor league ball, once you've established yourself, or high upside young players. As for the health insurance pension, I googled that.

Is everybody playing LeVeon now..? Just remember is cost him 14 million $ and any shot at a Super Bowl

@kvnklly

Playing ball beats doing just about any other job, that's why guys stay in the minors for a journeyman's pay.

Not worried about Thomas. The Saints already made a statement about how they're comfortable making him the highest payed player in the league and I'm sure they aren't worried about him missing camp. The deal will get done.

I should say they reportedly said that. It's not a direct quote from a team official but here: https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2841672-report-saints-comfortable-making-michael-thomas-highest-paid-wr-on-new-contract.amp.html

And there's this report about them offering him $18-19 million/year and he reportedly wants $20 million/year so the sides are close: https://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/1801244

WR not worth 20 mil year

Period.

this man turned down 18 million a year? damn hes not even worth that, this man is being nothing but greedy and hes not thinking about the future of his team

Well part of this I agree with you but the other part you’re wrong. He’s worth every penny, is he being greedy yes but he’s not alone. I hate to say it but this is what the NFL has turned into. It’s very sad to know that these guys go from being poor to making more money in one game then most people make in two years and they act this way. I do agree with you on that all day, but worth it, 100% positively is worth it. If we lose him breeze just a soon retires

I also am positively 100% sure he is the most aggressive and has the biggest killer instinct of any receiver in the league not naming a Jarvis Landry. He is a guy that we do not wanna lose. He is gritty and unstoppable for the most part. Breeze has a lot to do with this but without this guy breeze doesn’t have long enough to find someone else like him, the Saints are in a win now mode for the next three years and then it may be over as far as Drew Brees

u think michael thomas is worth 22million dollars @LouisiAnimals1 ?

did u not see the 2018 stats i posted yesterday?

It’s not that I think he’s worth that much money, because this is what they will pay him he’s worth being paid at the top of the list. I agree with you, I think these guys shouldn’t make more than 10 million a year. But it is what it is and if everyone else is going to make this kind of money, he should be at the top of the list to make it as well.

Did you know he was a second-year receiver and he has posted multiple records that no other receiver has ever done in their first multiple years

he was still one of the most inconsistent top wrs last year....by asking for this money hes actually hurting his teams superbowl chances the next few years bc it means that wont be able to pay other, more important team pieces

$22 million is average starting QB money.

@gojonking explain the face palm please

Explain how he was inconsisitent

he had 8 games under 75 yards in 2018

want to know the list of players who did better than that?
