Saints | Michael Thomas a full-go Tue Jul 25, 12:25 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas (foot) is expected to be a full participant in training camp, according to head coach Dennis Allen.
| Footballguys view: We'll believe it when we see it. Thomas has struggled with various injuries over the last few years, but he might actually be healthy. If he's healthy, Thomas will be the no.2 wide receiver opposite of Chris Olave. From a fantasy perspective, GMs are taking him as a late-round flier in 12-team leagues. |

Saints | Michael Thomas will be a full-go for camp Tue Jun 6, 02:14 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas (foot) told reporters Tuesday, June 6, that he will be ready for training camp 'day one, full speed.'
| Footballguys view: We'll believe it when we see it. Thomas had some hardware removed from his foot back in May, and Saints HC Dennis Allen has previously stated that Thomas would be ready when camp starts in August. The news has been positive, but with his injury history we'll just wait to see what happens. |

Saints | Michael Thomas closer to 100 percent Sun May 14, 10:33 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas (foot) had hardware in his foot removed a week ago, head coach Dennis Allen said Saturday, May 13.
| Footballguys view: The good news about Thomas doesn't get us excited anymore. We've heard good news about Thomas over the last few years, and he's played in 10 games since the start of 2020. We'll have to see it before we believe it, but there's a tipping point when considering Thomas in your fantasy league. If he falls too far, the upside is too good to pass up. Considering Thomas as a WR4/WR5 sounds about right given his injury history. |

Saints | Michael Thomas eyeing training camp Fri May 12, 10:30 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas (toe) is expected to be 'good to go' for training camp, according to head coach Dennis Allen.
| Footballguys view: Thomas is not yet 100 percent, but putting a timetable on him is something Allen was unwilling to do earlier this year. The team must be getting more clarity on his situation. Thomas has only played in 10 games since the start of the 2020 season, so his ADP is going to be low compared to the potential that he could still have if he's ever healthy and part of the player he used to be. |

Saints | Michael Thomas not 100 percent Tue Mar 28, 11:58 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas (toe) isn't 100 percent, according to head coach Dennis Allen, Tuesday, March 28. 'We're going to be cautious with it and take our time, and we really don't want to put him out there until he's 100%,' according to Allen.

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave said he leaned on WR Michael Thomas for advice and help this season. 'Ever since I came in here, he's showing me the way,' Olave said.
| Footballguys view: Thomas is a great resource for a young player like Olave. While Thomas was mostly injured (again) in 2022, Olave made an immediate impact during his rookie season. He had 1,082 yards and four touchdowns on 73 catches as a rookie. |

Saints | Michael Thomas reportedly restructures contract Sat Jan 7, 11:44 AM
The New Orleans Saints agreed to a restructured deal with WR Michael Thomas Friday, Jan. 6, according to a source. His contract, which expires at the end of the 2024 season, will lower his 2023 base salary from $15.5 million to $1.165 million, while adding a $31.755 million roster bonus for the 2024 league year that would become fully guaranteed on the third day of the 2023 league year, which will fall on March 17, 2023.
| Footballguys view: Thomas received an additional signing bonus of $902,941 this week, which was the equivalent of one extra game check for his original 2022 base salary of $15.35 million when his contract was first signed, prior to the deal being restructured on multiple occasions. These moves set up the Saints to move on from Thomas this offseason. |

New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas (toe) recently had a setback in his recovery from a dislocated toe and was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Nov. 3, according to head coach Dennis Allen.
| Footballguys view: Bad news for the veteran receiver as Thomas is expected to undergo surgery soon and is unlikely to play again this season. He finishes 2022 with 16 catches for 171 yards and three touchdowns. Thomas may not be with the Saints next season. As far as the rest of this year goes, rookie WR Chris Olave is going to get as much work as he can handle. |
