Report: Michael Thomas, Saints Agree to Record 5-Year, $100M Contract

The New Orleans Saints and wide receiver Michael Thomas reportedly agreed to a five-year, $100 million contract extension Wednesday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The deal makes Thomas the highest paid wide receiver in NFL history and the first non-quarterback offensive player to sign a $100 million contract, per Rapoport

The 26-year-old has established himself as one of the NFL's most potent offensive weapons. He's amassed 321 catches for 3,787 yards and 23 touchdowns over his first three seasons for New Orleans, who drafted the ex-Ohio State Buckeye 47th overall in the 2016 NFL draft.
