You won't. They will keep his arse safe on the bench and then unload him in the offseason

His sprained ankle spread to the rest of his body over the last 2 years and he was eaten alive. Best you just forget that name.

MT13 has previously issued a public statement that he no longer desires to play for the Saints and that he wants to be traded.

He has never issued a follow-up statement to either retract or qualify his initial statement.

What does that mean to the common-sense observer of such events, in your opinion?

Consider also that Coach Payton previously stated that MT13 delayed surgery on the injury and then remained out-of-contact with Payton during that period of time.

What do these facts mean to the common-sense observer? What logical conclusion might a sensible person draw from these objective facts?

a) MT13 can't wait to get on the field and win a SB with the Saints

b) MT13 no longer desires to play for the Saints

c) MT13 reads Tigerdroppings and is horrified at all of the mean comments about him and will return to the Saints after he has a good cry

Got a link?

Last I heard of/from MT13 was Payton said they had a good talk.

Yep, had a good talk. Payton told him how he was going to act moving forward while the team works on the trade.

This dude ain't playing for NO again. It was obvious in the offseason.

Payton previously expressed dissatisfaction over the fact that MT13 remained out-of-contact with the Saints organization for a period of time during which the Saints had adjudged that MT13 should be seeking surgical treatment on his injury. That comment has never been either retracted or qualified by the Saints or MT13.

This comment was not in a tweet or otherwise easily accessible without some research.

If you'd like, you can discount this "Payton commment" portion of the equation and focus your thought process on the facts concerning MT13's comments and behavior. What conclusions would a sensible person draw from those objective facts?

This is not an illogical conclusion, given the facts.

This "good talk" might well be more recent than the earlier period of "no contact" because the no contact period's duration included the off-season.

We all could use more facts about the situation, particularly facts concerning this Payton-MT13 Good Talk.

Did Payton simply announce that they had a good talk, but, revealed none of the contents of the good talk? If so, then, that is not a fact that we can use to run counter to MT13's previous and clear statement that he wants to be traded.

The "good talk" occurred just prior to the preseason game against the Ravens which lead to Thomas traveling with the team to Baltimore. Thomas has been rehabbing his ankle at the team facility ever since. Bunch of frickin retards on this board.

Saints lost a lot of valuable trade pieces to Free Agency over the offseason. The good young players on the roster Loomis wanted to keep. We wouldn't get any trade partners with the other pieces.

I think the Saints would like to see him playing. I believe he's been cleared to play. MT likely is still complaining about his leg and biding his time.
