Mike Thomas Approves of Carr

Can’t foresee injuries.

Plus didn’t he have the best season of his career after signing

For clarification - we didn’t get nothing.

The season AFTER he signed the deal, he had the most prolific receiving season in league history at that time.

Then injuries crushed the next 3 season.

Agreed that he didn’t “earn” that 100 million in full but he did go all out, when healthy, following the contract signing.

Also, don’t forget how amazing he looked (when healthy) in week one this past season. And that a hospital ball from Winston in week 2 essentially ended his brief comeback.

Thomas is a baller and if he is healthy he is the best receiver we have - by far. And that’s not a knock on Olave - that’s just how good MT is.

We got one of the greatest receiving seasons in history. Followed by a season in which he got hurt doing the dirty work of blocking, then tried to gut it out for the team in Brees’s last season. Let’s not act like he hurt himself doing parkour in the offseason.
I just see excuses. We paid him a load of money for 1 year of catching passes and several years of doing nothing and you guys are ready to keep paying him? Not me. Time to move on. I don't dislike him and it sucks that he got injured. I really wish he could've kept killing it for us but he didn't. He didn't even come close to earning that contract so unless he wants to play for free for a couple seasons I'm done.
