The New Orleans Saints are going to be without Michael Thomas for a large chunk of the 2021 season. This is a massive blow to a team that was already thin at wide receiver and they only have themselves to blame for the situation they’re currently in.
The Saints had several opportunities to add help to the position this offseason but they didn’t sign a wide receiver in free agency and didn’t add one in the draft until the seventh and final round.
