Things have become strained between Thomas and the Saints this offseason, with the three-time Pro Bowler electing not to have ankle surgery until June. That has left head coach Sean Payton frustrated with the situation. He told local New Orleans media:
This public rebuke from his coach has obviously annoyed Thomas, leading to his tweet on Monday.
Stephen A Smith weighs in on the Saints vs Thomas situation
ESPN’s Stephen A Smith came out swinging against Michael Thomas on First Take Tuesday morning. The sports host, who is known for his fiery takes, had this to say about what Michael Thomas tweeted:
Smith went on to question why Thomas didn’t get the surgery earlier this offseason, especially after signing a $100 million contract with the Saints in 2019.
At the end of the segment on First Take, Stephen A questioned whether the Saints could trust Michael Thomas to fulfill his contract.
A new era starts in New Orleans this season
The 2021 NFL season will be the first time since 2006 that the Saints won’t have Drew Brees under center. Now, due to Michael Thomas’ delayed ankle surgery, they will also be without their lead receiver for the first few weeks of the upcoming regular season.
So it could be a tough start to the season for the reigning NFC South champions.
