Saints released Michael Thomas per Duncan; Thomas & Winston are Post-June 1 cuts
Not sure he is the best in Saints history but he did have the best 1 season in Saints histroy and one of the best in NFL 1 season in histroy. He did however get a fat payday and then sheet the bed ....
I see this throughout the social media echo chamber and as much as I dislike Michael Thomas the person for different reasons, this narrative is complete ignorance.
The dude got paid and went on to break an ALL TIME NFL record the FOLLOWING season.
He did not, as you wrongly stated, get paid and sheet the bed.
He got paid, then broke an NFL record, then got injured on a meaningless play, in the first game of the 2nd season under that contract, where we were running up the score on Tampa late in the 4th quarter and he got rolled up on.
That injury was grossly mismanaged, and who is responsible for the mismanagement is a finger pointing exercise, which Micheal Thomas is famous for.
Is he immature and lacking of personal accountability? Yes.
Is he a quitter? No.
Stop believing memes, pay attention, and think for yourself before you go slandering people.
