Sources: #Saints star WR Michael Thomas is expected to miss the start of the 2021 season after undergoing surgery to repair the ligaments in his ankle in June. Based on the timing of the surgery – and recommended 4 months of recovery – Thomas could be on the sideline for weeks.

In light of the Michael Thomas news, the #Saints have been nosing around free-agent wide receivers, sources say. Expect them to at least work out a few in the coming days.


Why he would wait until now to have the surgery makes no sense.

When it doesn’t heal like they anticipated. It’s not like thomas is dictating when he has surgery

Previous reports stated he needed multiple surgeries so it’s likely this isn’t the first surgery he’s had to recover from this offseason, which would delay this surgery

I've been beating this same drum for years: the Saints need to upgrade the WR corps. How the Saints did not address the position in the draft is mind-boggling.

Now the chickens have come home to roost. Congrats to Trequan Smith, I guess. Our new #1 receiver. 80 career receptions. 1100 career yards. Three years.



This team lacks firepower outside of Kamara. It is a major need.

Waiting until June to have the surgery is beyond unforgivable. It's either his fault or the medical team/front office's fault.

It is time to trade this dude once he recovers and get something for him. He only played 7 games last year and will miss several games to start. He is going to sandbag until next season when those heavy incentives kick in.
