New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is still playing under his rookie contract with the Saints in this his third season in the NFL. His current deal, four years and $5.1 million, runs through the 2019 Season after which he would be set to become an unrestricted free agent.
But that’s not how things typically work with players as good as Michael Thomas. At some point this season or before next season’s end at the latest, the Saints will attempt to sit down with Thomas and his agent to hammer out a long-term extension.
