There are rumors popping up that he and the Steelers are talking. I get the recent and lengthy injury history, but he's still only 31 and likely has more talent than any receiver available.
If the team can clear him medically (a big if), I would really like this signing.
We're pretty desperate at WR, so maybe something like this happens.
He's started 15 games over the last 4 seasons. I guess the "good news" is that he had 7 starts last year and appeared in 10 games.
But I'd be a hard pass for me if he want's any kind of middling WR contract.
Last year, he had a small base salary $1.2MM, a $2.2MM roster bonus (guaranteed) with a cap number of $12.5MM (mostly from the prorated SB). I wouldn't want to pay him very much because the risk is super high. I wonder if he'd play for the ~$3.5MM he earned last season?
Maybe with some heavy incentives for playing time thresholds (which we don't like to give out).

Man has the standard for WR fallen. The guy is a gimp on two feet. There is no team in the NFL that is that desperate. Just sign a guy from another teams PS.Originally Posted by Flasteel
Sure, if there a money line for games played before IR I’m taking the under.
I lost a bet about Najee gaining 1300 yards.
"Our head coach has failed to win a playoff game for seven years in a row. His game day strategy, culture of divas, in game decisions, clock management, player evaluation, hires, and affinity with sub par starters at RB, P, and OL are holding the Steelers back. That standard remains the standard"
Thanks, but no thanks.
Help me find my post proving I am a Yinzer!
Find the post Ovi labeled me a troll!
We want to roll people!
The choice is Thomas at vet min or pass.....I still pass.
I don't see him at this stage being a difference maker. I would pass.
In 2019 Michael Thomas was an absolute beast. In 2024 he’s just another warm body with a pulse.
Obviously the standard is the standard.
Thomas is still probably better than our collection of journeymen
Thomas had 39 receptions in 10 games
Austin...who I like, had 17
Van Jefferson had 20
Quez Watkins had 15
Scotty Miller had 11
A broken down Thomas seems better than whatever we have. Also, remember our OC coached in the same division as the Saints so if he is intereted he has seen something he likes
I'm still hoping for a trade

Old, washed, injury prone, locker room problem.
Hard pass, can't believe the Steelers are really sniffing around here.
