Wide receiver Michael Thomas is expected to return to the Saints on an incentive-laden one-year deal, as first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday that New Orleans and Thomas agreed to a reworked contract that will become a one-year, $10 million deal with the potential for the 30-year-old to earn up to $15 million with incentives. The former Offensive Player of the Year will be able to officially sign the deal when the new league year begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.
Thomas is coming off of another injury-riddled season that saw him play in just three games and make 16 catches for 171 yards and three touchdowns before ending the year on injured reserve with a foot injury. Since 2020, the two-time former All-Pro and 2019 Offensive Player of the Year has battled multiple injuries, resulting in him playing in just 10 games since 2020.
