ScarletKnight89 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Why would any good offensive player be interested in coming here? This is where offensive players go to never be heard from again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll come, catch 2 or 3 passes a game for 40 yards and complain. We shouldn't be going after anybody like Thomas until we learn how to use the player the correct way. Just my opinion.

Michael Thomas is literally the only real option in New Orleans and they’re a completely different team without him. And they have a champion quarterback who is going to be a first ballot hall of famer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 2 hours ago, New York Mick said: Can Greenbay afford him? That would be one hell of a set up. Pretty sure that anyone can afford him this year. His cap hit is $7M for the season, but $6 of that is prorated signing bonus already paid by the Saints. To acquire him, a team would only take on his base salary for the rest of this season, which is a percentage of his $1M base. You would then have him for 4 more years at about $15M per year, which is a bargain for a guy like Thomas. This is assuming that I understand cap/salary implications of a trade, which may or may not be a safe assumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using JetNation.com mobile app Graham also had a major knee injury right after leaving the Saints, I think that's more of his issue. He lost a lot of his speed. He's still effective in the red zone which is why he's still in the league but his explosiveness is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JD is going to be trading late round picks to teams looking to shed good players on bad contracts since it will be much harder to attract them via FA. Thomas is the perfect type of player we should be bringing in after the season. I'd trade Sam for him straight up or Sam and a 3rd, whatever gets it done. Would also be fine with Seattle's 1st but I think NO is going to be in on the Sam sweepstakes along with Pitt and Indy. Great post. I hope that what you say is exactly what happens. I just haven’t seen those kinds of moves yet where we part with resources to add high-quality players. If anything, the Jets have been shedding their top-tier talent via trade, not buyers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAD_Brooklyn Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Michael Thomas' Camp Trying To Get Teams To Offer Saints Trade OCT 26, 2020 11:33 AM The camp of Michael Thomas has tried to get another team to make a trade offer to the New Orleans Saints before the Nov. 3 deadline. Thomas has played in just one game this season. The Saints would absorb a $20 million cap charge if Thomas is traded. Thomas signed a five-year, $100 million contract extension with the Saints in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stop doing things this way....you know, the way that has never worked for this team. and wait until next year to draft more receivers. Trading for the likes of Percy Harvin and passing on prime WR draft prospects for run stuffing D-lineman and Safeties is what this team does, which has never worked. Trading for the best WR in the league, in his prime, while we have an extra 1st round pick is EXACTLY what this team NEVER does ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't? He's played like 3 quarters on week 1. He went out with a high ankle sprain. Despite them claiming he was week to week he didn't start practicing until like week 6. He punched a teammate, got suspended for a game and then had a "grade 1 hamstring strain" which will keep him out this week. He has played less than half the snaps of Jeff Smith, basically the same as Jeff Malone. I would stay far away from this guy. We are not a team looking for a piece to put us over the top. We are looking for guys that will be here for the long haul. It's like having to give up a draft pick for Antonio Brown and he is carrying a huge contract.
