Saints released Michael Thomas per Duncan; Thomas & Winston are Post-June 1 cuts

Interesting that Duncan concluded his column by saying Thomas had earned his place in the Saints Hall of Fame. He did point out a few low moments for Thomas in the article, but finished by saying he was one of the best to wear black and gold.

It seems like Thomas went in on Duncan over using the term “released” and automatically assumed malice. It’s something the Saints had to do before they owed him a 31M 2024 roster bonus when the league year starts next week. I guess he would’ve preferred to see “Thomas will become a FA before restructured roster bonus kicks in” but it’s still the same thing as a release from the contract for the Saints to not pay the bonus.
