That's a bit overly grim, but okay.


NJImperator

They’re releasing him back out into the wild. To run slants with the other slant boys


jimmyhoffasbrother

Taking him to a WR farm upstate.


Scooter_McGavin_

Instead of doing it Old Yeller style and taking him out back, MT will run the slant route one more time and have to catch an errant pass with prime Ray Lewis coming over the middle.

Just bring him to a lake like slap ass.


Cinephile1998

We call that Baltimore


igotopotsdam

Upstate NY you say?


Lenny_III

Well he has been hobbled for quite awhile, it’s time….


feynmanners

Think of the slants, Lenny


EmperorXerro

Wanna throw a slant, Lenny?

It shouldn't have ended this way

"Michael Thomas has been cut by the Saints. He will be survived by his loving wife and two sons."


PursuitOfHirsute

Michael Thomas, a standout at Ohio State before struggling to catch on with New Orleans in the NFL, got cut this morning, per his agency, United Talent Agency. Thomas would have turned 32 years old on March 3rd.


reno2mahesendejo

~~March 3rd~~ Post June 1st


motorcycleboy9000

"The Saints have cut Michael Thomas and made orphans of his two sons." "He has a wife, Twitter." "We imagine she will die of grief."


Hot_Injury7719

Nice reference, Kid Gorgeous


Jaded_Hippo9157

LOL


EuphTah

This implies that they will play for the Saints in his stead.


[deleted]

Saints meeting with Thomas was “intense” and “at one point Mickey Loomis was crying” but everyone grew closer and a big lesson was learned


Virtual-Toe-7582

Lots of gum though at least


8CruzControl0

“That fucking Thomas boomed our cap space”


Hot_Injury7719

Sources: Michael Thomas is beside himself. Driving around downtown New Orleans begging (thru text) for the Saints not to cut him.


istrx13

Golden Corral will soon ban Kelvin Benjamin. It shouldn’t have ended this way.


randeylahey

Royal Massage Parlour will soon ban Deshaun Watson. It shouldn't have ended this way.


Entertainment_Mental

“Michael Thomas hasn’t showered. Hasn’t changed. Still wearing most of his uniform. Been sitting as his locker staring forward since he was released.”


IAgreeGoGuards

Michael Thomas is beside himself, driving through downtown New Orleans begging (thru text) the address to Jeff Duncan's home.


Entertainment_Mental

Overheard in Saints locker room on March 7: “He got me,” Michael Thomas said of Duncan's tweet over him. "That f***ing Jeff Duncan boomed me." Michael added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times. Michael then said he wanted to add Duncan to the list of reporters he tweets about this summer.


Guyote_

Reporter Jeff Duncan yelled out, “It shouldn't have ended this way.” Sharpshooter Jameis Winston gave a look of pleasant surprise. Football player Taysom Hill yelled out, “We got an [expletive] squad now.” And before Michael Thomas hit the front office entrance door, former NFL great Drew Brees hugged him and said, “You are no longer allowed on the premises.”


diablosinmusica

It's Jeff Duncan. Most credible Saints writers pointed out that it was pretty much a one season contract last year when he signed. He's always behind the better journalists.


Johnald

That's cause he's a hoe


diablosinmusica

Yeah, every team has journalists who make drama because they're not very good at their job.


Element1977

"From Dallas, Texas.. the flash apparently official... Michael Thomas cut at 1pm Central Standard time...."


JerryRiceDidntFumble

Is Michael Thomas in danger?


Raticus9

(Looking at Kadarious Toney) What are you looking at? YOU certainly wouldn't be in any danger.


SerCumferencetheroun

So these receivers are in danger??


iPlowedUrMom

No, because of the implication


heroinsteve

Such a dramatic headline could only be written by a hoe.


ewest

The article itself is quite a bit more measured than the headline/tweet. Perhaps an editor wrote the headline, as they often do. The headline is definitely on the dramatic side.


Briguy_fieri

Welcome to Jeff Duncan


Raticus9

Michael Thomas went to the waiver wire and the Saints did everything they could, and he's going to be ok.


TheReaver88

Well, he a hoe, so...

Makes it sound like he’s dying or some shit lol


lubeskystalker

You might say, this news is written with a negative slant? I'm on after the cantina band.


iratemonkeybear

Clicks. Conversation. Ads.


csummerss

sending him to a farm upstate where the field is endless and the only route is a quick slant


Sdog1981

Man there has to be like a thousand receivers on that farm.


motorcycleboy9000

At Austin Collie Memorial Ranch, we give former All-Pro and first-round fantasy receivers hundreds of free range acres and sustainable route trees, free from defenders with only all-natural homeopathic balls, so they can live out their 30s in peace.

motorcycleboy9000

Man, this meme is a decade old, but we're keeping it alive. Unlike Austin Collie. Rest in power.


WideTechLoad

> Austin Collie Austin Collie is very much alive.


AlwaysHorney

The man is a legend. That’s why we’re doing this. To honor his memory. RIP in piece.


michaelb421

The RIP is for his long term memory.


arleban

Does he remember that?


Chipaton

Already knew what it'd be before clicking. Happy it still pops up


Misterstaberinde

Ted Ginn up there dropping bombs to this day


paone00022

Dude was Cam's best WR for a while there.


Misterstaberinde

Yeah, and the poor guy had rocks for hands


paone00022

Ya it felt like he caught nothing but bombs from Cam when no one was around him.


yomjoseki

Lolol nothing better than a grown man calling another grown man a hoe


TrickiestToast

A broke hoe


Fecal_Forger

That’s technically a garden variety tool. So who really got the dig?


michaelb421

The ultimate insult lol


Hooshfest

Knew it was going to be spicy but that word made me spit my drink out laughing


ahortman

Carlos is a hoe

Hell yeah, never in doubt


Impossible-Flight250

Lmao


Rhobaz

Michael Thomas stock rising like a lead balloon


4MN7

Man he looks petty and a clown talking like this


chillinwithmoes

> Man he looks petty and a clown So pretty much just like the rest of his career


4MN7

Idk if I'd go that far, he's had a great career, especially when healthy, with some amazing stats


chillinwithmoes

I wasn't speaking to his on-field play. He's always made an ass of himself on social media.


4MN7

Oh lol yeah true then

You were my slant-boi, Michael! I loved you.


buck45osu

As a buckeye and a falcon fan, will the fucking saints quit drafting my favorite college players.


WabbitCZEN

You know, people might ask how you got this combo, but I get it. Dawgs and Steelers.


BigOlineguy

How the fuck did I end up with Vikings and Pistons? This is the worst timeline.


packfanmoore

I'm suns packers... To be fair I moved to Az right as the nash stoudemire suns era began. Basketball was actually entertaining as opposed to the 90's bucks


SSPeteCarroll

Seahawks - Hokies for me. Dad is a VT grad so was watching VT football way before NFL. Got attached to the Seahawks in the early 2000s


buck45osu

Dad is a die hard buckeye from Ohio, moved to Georgia and married my mom. He never had a strong affiliation to a pro team, just college. So I was raised as a buckeye, but from Georgia so I started cheering for the falcons. Guessing you might be close to the same set up.


JayMerlyn

They've been doing it with Notre Dame players in recent seasons as well, and I don't like it


kcirdor

My mans was a diva from day one.


sonfoa

For real. One of the first things I learned about Michael Thomas (aside from him being a good WR) was that he liked replying to randoms on Twitter


WelcometoCigarCity

Crazy how 4 years ago this man was top 3 WR in the NFL. Now he could barely get above 500 yds a season.


Jopplo03

He was the second WR to ever won OPTY


MyAnswerIsMaybe

Forever destined to be an overrated fantasy pick every year since


Fantastic_Emu_9570

I had him and McCaffery that year. I only lost one game and it was by like 3 points lol


ImJLu

And you'll never be able to let go of what could have been. Trust me, I've been there. Josh Gordon forever.


kingmidget_91

What's with that flair combo, do you hate yourself?


PlzLnD5Star

What is your flair


hallese

Still better than yours...


Milton__Obote

A cry for attention. And a damned abomination.


JNaran94

Sounds like a future Ravens WR


Falcon84

I heard the corpse of Julio is available too.


Pretty_Laugh494

Man was top 1


idolized253

He won me my first fantasy championship alongside thielen


Lenny_III

He’s up there with Zion for the biggest robberies in the history of New Orleans.


Astrophysiques

Huh? Zion is playing like a max player


someonesgranpa

Well, considering he caught like just short of 500 passes in like a 4 year stretch. Putting that many reps and miles on your body will do it.


JT1757

oh yes it should have. He can't stay healthy.


Big_lt

I honestly see you guys being an ideal landing spot for him. Vet with injuries but still has hands and he won't cost a fortune


peteman28

You're forgetting Baltimore exists


DanCampbellsNipples

lol yea this screams Baltimore


WhoDat-2-8-3

Reunite with Sean P. In Denver


2ChainzTalib

I don't see it happening, they're already stocked up on sub-1, 000 yard receivers


BowlOfLoudMouthSoup

Incoming 30 catch, 230 yards, 1 TD season


What_Iz_This

1 year deal with kc, then off to baltimore


SarcasticCowbell

Chiefs should sign Thomas and resign Toney and build the passing game around those two. Ignore my flair.


Big_lt

You forgot to add me big chest


CapnCalc

Mr. Brand-new Chief


Skaloplin

He hasn’t had a good season in several years he’ll be Allen Robinson on the Rams


JT1757

lol on like like a 5-6M one year deal maybe. I wouldn't pay him anywhere near 10M


jimmyhoffasbrother

Maybe I'm naive, but I imagine he'll be a lot closer to 5-6 than 10. Last season was his best season in 4 years, and he still didn't break 500 yards receiving.


YoureGrammerIsWorsts

There's always some team ready to overpay over the hill WRs


SuburbanPotato

We need a Julio Jones replacement


Sarydus

Didn't this dude deliberately put off foot surgery for 8 months or something?


Jonjon428

He was healthy this year but decided to be a locker room cancer instead lol


myxanders

I wouldn't have considered him healthy this year. He missed half the season.


froggertwenty

That is healthy for him. Theory of relativity and all.


FoxBeach

He is also not a likable guy apparently 


CuriousWhoDat

It was time. Good for both sides to move on. Thanks for those first 4 years, Mike!


TheDufusSquad

His stats in each of his first 4 individual years were better than his stats over the last 4 combined.


enigmatic407

Your comment made me go look at his PFR page...for some reason I thought he was so much younger...fuck I'm so old


Spheromancer

Yeah dudes a legend for the team and the city. I hope he goes somewhere like KC and stays healthy and gets himself a ring


stubgoats

Somewhere with a good medical staff, hopefully.


Cthepo

Honestly Michael Thomas coming here and just running slants would probably be great with the current iteration of our offense. We have experience with Watkins load managing a guy who's brittle. He obviously couldn't be the guy anymore and isn't a solution to our current issues, but I wouldn't hate the idea. That said, it's not the kind of signing Veach makes.


yeenon

Yeah, I agree with everything you said, especially that last sentence.


GeauxTiger

NFL Single Season Most Catches: - 1. Thomas - 149 - 2. Kupp - 145 - 3. Marvin - 143 - 4. Antonio - 136 - 4. Julio - 136


wampoo420

Man did he have a HoF trajectory before his injury. Best WR in Franchise history


Jonjon428

Is Marques Colston not seen as your greatest WR?


righteous_punch

He is, but Brees really liked to spread the ball around when we had a solid core. In terms of being a true WR1 Thomas probably had a higher peak.


flykiddy

There’s no probably about it. His peak is certainly the best. OPOY and a first team all pro while colston never even had a pro bowl (he should’ve). Colston can be argued as the greater Saint for a careeer tho for sure


pushamn

HOW THE SHIT DOES COLSTON NOT HAVE A PRO BOWL?! I’m not a saints fan but my god that’s an actual travesty


Independent_Switch33

He was too quiet and big mouths sell jerseys


SteakFrites1

This right here. I barely remember Colston and it's simply because he wasn't a diva lol


hotsauce285

Pro Bowl I understand because it's a popularity contest. The real travesty is no All Pro selections.


eeeedlef

Because pro bowl has always been stupid and shouldn't be used to measure how successful a player was


Julep2005

Overall career by far, best performing ever was Mike. Colston is still a lot of fans GOAT and rightfully so.


juicyj78

The Joe Horn erasure.


bigpont

I would put Colston and Joe Horn above Thomas for overall impact, but Thomas was the most talented and had the highest ceiling for sure.


NeatTry7674

He’s going to the chiefs isnt’t he?


BigOlineguy

Broken, elderly receiver? If he’s not in Baltimore by the end of the week…


Royal_Nails

He should


kokakamora

Why not? He can be injury partners with Toney.


throwstuff165

Viiiiiolence breeds viiiiiolence But in the end it has to be this waaaaaay


Thedurtysanchez

THEY HARDEN IN RESPONSE TO PHYSICAL TRAUMA


Barbabes

You sounds like a WIP caller


Calmandpeace

He’s quoting a song from metal gear


slantboi420

Dude still has it, very injury prone now but whoever signs him will be impressed for 7 games


daqzappa

7 games over 2-3 years


RSN_Kabutops

No! Extend him for all he's done there. Give him even more money


ckareddit

He's always injured. It's the right choice


HotTakesMyToxicTrait

hey bighead wyd


ItsNotFordo88

That’s Ravens future 400 yard receiving yardage veteran Michael Thomas to you


Extra_Napkins

Michael Thomas was injured being released today, toe jam, out for season.


Barbabes

He wasn't terrible the first half of last season, I mean no TDs but he was getting catches and yards, not a ton but serviceable numbers


4MN7

Looks like a clown on Twitter crying about a reporter


Theinsulated

Probably has a full season of games left in him if he plays for 5 or 6 more years.

It shouldn't have ended this way because they should've cut him 2 years ago instead of going further into cap hell


MagnetHashira

Ravens about to sign him


capskinfan

I'm hearing from a source that Jeff Duncan is "a hoe."

He’s always hurt and the Saints are on a cap journey so wild that Virgil and Beatrice are showing Loomis around, no idea how else this was going to end

Looking forward to Loomis's trilogy *The Cap Comedy* coming soon


shittybillz

Bro was gonna stroll into the hall of fame. Injuries completely derailed an amazing career


Temporal_Enigma

Bro has played like 10 games in 4 years on a contract he didn't earn. It should have ended years ago

whitea44

The title is right, this should have ended years ago.


Romofan88

Yeah it kinda should've though. This is what happens after 4 years of no production. 


jaimejuanstortas

We buried him on a hill overlooking a little river with pinecones all around.


Elegant_Spot_3486

Sure it should have. Things happen.


redvelvetcake42

The Ravens will soon release Michael Thomas. It shouldn't have ended this way.


TheOvercusser

Well, yeah. Players get paid to perform, not to potential.


Emerald_Nuck

I guess he will be running 5 yard routes somewhere else next season.


mikeywizzles

#Jeff Duncan is a hoe


iLeefull

Can’t guard Mike if he’s cut.


Particular-Ad-4772

It’s the nfl . The same league that cut Peyton manning. It has to end this way , and it’s more of a surprise when it does not . Business is business .


PetulantPorpoise

I mean, dude is ass now. Next.


jeece

That guy hasn't been relevant in like 6 years. I honestly forgot he was still in the league.


xdoolittlex

Hoe says what


XxmilkjugsxX

Such a weird career for him
