NEW ORLEANS — About an hour after news broke that Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas would soon be released, he responded on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Here is what Thomas had to say:

Jeff Duncan funny how they planning on releasing me if I was on a 1 year deal 😂😂😂 . Don’t fall for it he the same dude that tried to be my friend in season after saying I wasn’t the same player in training camp. #nexttopic

Jeff Duncan is a hoe. Trying to stay relevant so let’s speak on it. The Saints leak information to him to try to ruin players value but see I’m not broke so I can speak on it. He is broke so he need clicks. Go look at all his articles that never end up being true.

ESPN reporter Kather Terrell reported that Thomas' contract is set up in a way that the team would either have to rework it or release him this offseason.

Thomas' contract was set up in a way that the team would either have to rework it or release him this offseason. If he's on the roster the third day of the 2024 league year, $119 million in bonuses will guarantee. The 2024 year does not automatically void.

Last season, Thomas was placed on IR after injuring his knee against the Vikings in Week 10. He finished the season with 39 catches, 448 receiving yards and 1 touchdown.

According to our partners at The Times-Picayune | New Orleans Advocate, Michael Thomas is expected to be released at some point before the start of the league year, which begins on March 13.
