Michael Thomas situation might be worse than people have thought...

This is from a PFT article (i know) that quotes Jeff Duncan I assume from an Athletic article:
quote:
Duncan reports that the suspension “had less to do” with the fight than it did his conduct after the fight. He reportedly “talked back” to coaches (including the head coach) and “obstinately refused counsel” after the incident. It was the insubordination demonstrated by Thomas that resulted in his suspension for conduct detrimental to the team.
Duncan explains that the Saints were sending Thomas a message, based on a growing reputation for being “difficult.” He “too often” has “crossed the line,” per Duncan, barking at trainers for failing to properly tape his ankle, accusing a staff member of going through his mail, and generally demonstrating an “unpredictable, aloof personality” that has alienated the team’s P.R. staff.
At one point, coach Sean Payton had to address the situation directly with Thomas during training camp.
Here’s the other far more problematic wrinkle: The suspension jeopardizes his remaining guarantees, amounting to $12.6 million in 2021 and $15.35 million in 2022.
Per the language of the contract, a copy of which PFT has obtained, the suspension makes those guarantees “null and void.” That would leave Thomas without the full financial security that comes from his long-term contract, and it would allow the Saints to easily move on from him after either of the next two seasons if his performance dips, if he can’t stay healthy, or if they simply decide they’ve had enough.

This board will melt at this thread. I was ludicrous for saying Thomas is a shithead

During contract negotiations I said I thought it may be a problem down the road because MT had been exhibiting shithead behavior for awhile. And got downvoted into oblivion.
Dude has been a total shithead on twitter for awhile, its just carrying over now.

These guys are the worst. And usually get the shittiest treatment as a result.

He's Keyshawns nephew what the frick did everyone think would happen

And this is the guy Drew Bress knelt down and sucked his cock to save face with BLM. Drew didn’t want to upset his best receiver and now his best receiver might be gone anyways.
Drew Brees might as well have stuck to his conservative guns.

anyone that followed him on twitter knew he could be a problematic prior to his new contract

Damn. It’s like he hired Antonio Brown to be his life coach.
Payton did indeed say he got suspended for “acting out” not simply for fighting.

Pretty sure most people here, or maybe it was Saints Talk, already turned their back on him after his MAGA poop emoji tweet a while back.

between this and getting kicked out of their own stadium the saints are the biggest joke of a franchise in the nfl

Certainly wasn’t saints talk.

He’s going to be a lot of fun once Brees retires. His production will drop as the new QB develops, and his frustrations will rise.
His tirades will move from the locker room to the sidelines.
