In a stunning turn of events, the New Orleans Saints have announced the release of star wide receiver Michael Thomas. This move comes as a surprise to many fans and analysts alike, as Thomas has been a cornerstone of the Saints’ offense since being drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Thomas, known for his incredible route-running ability and sure hands, quickly established himself as one of the premier wide receivers in the league. In 2019, he set the NFL record for most receptions in a single season with an astounding 149 catches. His chemistry with future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees was undeniable, and he became a focal point of the Saints’ high-powered offense.
