The highest-paid player on the New Orleans Saints roster was unable to play last season, but judging from his Instagram account, he's anxious and amped for 2022.
The Saints are stuck between a rock and a hard place. The news of Michael Thomas' injury puts added pressure on an offense that just lost its starting quarterback this past Sunday. This wide receiver room was already weak; however, in the back of our minds was always Thomas.
NFL Network seems to be playing clean-up this morning after broadcasting a headline that stated Saints' WR Michael Thomas wanted to be traded from the team.
The New Orleans Saints wide receiver tweeted a few things during the NFC Championship game that led many to believe he was throwing shade at his quarterback.
According to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter, Thomas held off on the surgeries because he knew it was likely Drew Brees' last season and wanted to make a run at the Super Bowl with him.
