Saints are reportedly around 18 mil a year.

I love Mike Thomas but 22 mil for any WR is ridiculous.

Likely. Saints are offering to make him the highest paid WR but Mike wants more.

I’ll never blame anyone for getting paid but we still have to sign Kamara, Ram and Lattimore.

To me WR is much more expendable than an All Pro tackle and CB. Kamara is gonna be the face of the franchise once Drew rides off into the sunset.

Man, I'd tell him to take it or leave it. They oughta bring Brees into the meeting to tell him he'll just make a brand new Michael Thomas next year out of someone.

Especially the way Payton/Brees run the system.

How many WRs/TEs leave NOLA and get better elsewhere? Think the Chargers regret overpaying Meachem?

Everyone benefits.

Brees is not just going to make someone into MT if he leaves. And MT isn't going to put up the #s he does in the Saints offense somewhere else.

This is the dumbest shite imaginable. I’m sure they’ll bring Adrian Arrington back too and he’ll be the next Marques Colston.

Hey, why not bring back Nick Toon while we’re at it.

You can’t pay a WR 20-22 million a year. I love Mike, but you just can’t do it.

Can you honestly tell me they are remotly the same?

Meachem was not even that great here.

I know people think that the Saints can make anyone but thats just not true
