Right now, this is only a prediction, but sources say that Michael Thomas will be leaving the New Orleans Saints. It will be difficult to watch him leave because he has spent his whole NFL career with the franchise.
Michael Thomas is a winner, if there’s one thing about him. When he does make the decision to permanently quit the NFL, he will find himself another team to go out with. However, as is usually the case in these situations, the Saints supporters only hope that this doesn’t come back to bite them in the rear.

The Saints and Michael Thomas
The Saints selected Michael Thomas first overall in the 2015 NFL Draft, just after he graduated from Ohio State.
47th overall pick ultimately went to the wide receiver in the second round. His amazing career in New Orleans would begin with that, and what a career it has been.

In the season opener against the Saints and Raiders, he began his first NFL game. Though he caught six receptions that game, it wouldn’t be until a few weeks later, on Monday Night Football against the Falcons, that he would score his first touchdown from a pass from Drew Brees. That was the start of his career, and it appeared to have a happily ever after ending.

He’s had a few difficult seasons previously, but he broke the record for the most receptions by a single player in 2019 with 149, and he was voted the NFL Offensive Player of the Year. Over the past four years, he hasn’t played in more than 20 games due to ailments that have held him back.
And that’s how quickly the NFL business can pick up steam.
Michael Thomas Uses Some Strong Words
The wide receiver was unhappy with how it all turned out in the end, especially considering that there had been early rumors that he would be cut loose. In fact, he started criticizing one specific columnist who has been covering the Saints for years—Jeff Duncan—on the social media site that used to be called Twitter.
In his Thursday NOLA piece, Duncan begins with the words, “Michael Thomas has played his last game for the New Orleans Saints.” Of course, with their name all over it, that can’t be easy for anyone to read.

However, Duncan said a great deal more than that. He emphasized Thomas’s history of injuries and how it affected his deteriorating conduct. “But with Thomas, his chequered Saints tenure will always be defined by its unfulfilled potential,” the author concluded his piece. It ought to have been so very different. It could have been. A depressing conclusion to a term that seemed full of possibilities.
Whoa! He didn’t really try all that hard if he wasn’t attempting to get into some conflict with Thomas. The wide receiver had some thoughts about it all, of course.

What Are The Saints Observing?
A.T. Perry, Chris Olave, and Rashid Shaheed lead the team, therefore Keith Kirkwood and Lynn Bowden still need to resolve their differences before 2024. The Saints have a lot of talented players. Never underestimate Taysom Hill’s ability to set himself up for a couple passes or fool the opposition into believing that he is there for that reason.
According to Sports Illustrated, the Saints might not be best served by selecting a new wide receiver in the draft to take Thomas’ spot. However, there is a good group of free agents that includes K.J. Osborn of the Vikings, Ray-Ray McCloud of the 49ers, and Darnell Mooney of the Bears. Acquiring Devin Duvernay from the Ravens might also out to be a wise decision.
Frankly, nobody can truly fill Michael Thomas’s shoes, therefore it’s unfortunate that it ended on such a dubious note. However, that hasn’t yet occurred. What happens if the story doesn’t turn out the way Duncan predicted it will next week? That would be pleasant.
