Michael Thomas is not happy with the New Orleans Saints

A story was released over the weekend detailing what went down (or didn’t go down, for lack of better terms) between Michael Thomas and the New Orleans Saints. Jeff Duncan of the Times-Picayune was the author of that story and provided critical information in the Thomas injury situation.

For those who missed that piece (or aren’t a subscriber of the outlet), Kristen Wong of Who Dat Dish broke it down in her latest article.

"After the Saints’ postseason, the medical staff recommended Thomas to undergo surgery immediately to repair the ligament damage, but Thomas decided to get a second opinion, and rightfully so.That doctor suggested a more conservative approach that would let the injury heal over time through rehab and therapy, which was ultimately what Thomas ended up doing.Yet when Thomas reported for offseason workouts in June, the Saints officially determined his injury would require surgery. Had Thomas returned some of his calls or even just kept up basic communication with his team during his rehab, this whole fiasco might have been avoided."

Thomas’ injury will cost him to miss a good chunk of the season, which doesn’t bode well for a team that doesn’t have any capable receivers behind him on the roster. They were already thin at the position but everyone was banking on Thomas returning healthy and ready to go for Week 1. That, sadly, won’t be the case.

Well, Thomas spoke up about the situation, taking his thoughts to Twitter on Monday morning.

Yikes.

This has developed into an ugly situation between the Saints and Thomas and even if Thomas is healthy and ready to go, it doesn’t seem like this will be something the two sides can resolve.

The New Orleans Saints and Michael Thomas aren’t in a good spot

Whether this means a trade could eventually happen down the road or if the two sides will reconcile when Thomas is healthy and able to take the field, no one knows. This is a team that is thin at wide receiver and Thomas was the only proven talent at the position.

Now, however, even if he is able to return, will he want to play for a team that he’s furious with? We’ll have to wait and see how this all plays out.
