Michael Thomas is unlikely to return to the New Orleans Saints next season, and a notable AFC team has been named as a possible candidate for the veteran receiver.
In an internal column published Sunday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler wrote that Baltimore Ravens scouts are a suitor for Thomas if the Saints trade or fire the 31-year-old.
Fowler is that the Ravens are expected to re-sign Odell Beckham Jr. and that they are a team that values having established veterans at wide receiver.
Thomas and the Saints have been at odds for some time. Thomas became a bully while recovering from ankle surgery a few years ago and publicly criticized the team for the way the injury had been handled. At times, he was the subject of industry rumors, but New Orleans still retained him last season as part of a restructured contract.
Thomas had just 39 catches in 10 games last season. He criticized Derek Carr and the Saints on social media after the season, so it would be a blast if he stays with the team in 2024.
