Saints free agent preview: WR Michael Thomas, stay or go?

The New Orleans Saints and wide receiver Michael Thomas appear to be heading towards a separation. Thomas' contract allows for an easier release, and his comments on social media indicate a lack of enthusiasm to continue with the team. Despite injuries derailing his career, Thomas was a valuable teammate, but it seems his time with the Saints is coming to an end. Looking back on his last season, Thomas had a decent performance, but quarterback Derek Carr's inability to utilize him effectively affected his numbers. Thomas' injuries and public criticism of the coaching staff and Carr have likely played a role in the Saints' decision to move on. Releasing Thomas would result in a significant dead money hit, but it would also free up cap space for the team. There is a possibility of reconciling and signing a new contract, but it seems more likely that Thomas will be playing for another team in 2024. Potential replacements in free agency include Josh Reynolds, Jauan Jennings, and Kendrick Bourne.
