He wants 22 million....pay the man - was my angle the entire time the Saints and Wide Receiver Michael Thomas were going through contract negotiations.
No one on the Saints roster deserved to be rewarded handsomely more than Thomas after a record breaking three years in the league that saw him catch more passes (321) than anyone else in NFL history....HISTORY
Not Odell Beckham, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, or Deandre Hopkins, but Thomas.
So the question I’m posing here has nothing to do with should “Cant Guard Mike” have been payed or did he earn it, but simply did the New Orleans Saints get the best deal - this on the heels of a Stephen Jones quote that was in direct response to the contract Thomas had just signed and vaguely refers to the Cowboys negotiations with receiver Amari Cooper.
