General manager Mickey Loomis told Adam Schein on Mad Dog Sports Radio lately that the Saints have experienced”some discussions” to a new contract to the star receiver but would not go into detail.
“We’ve had some conversations, and I like keeping that close to the vest until there is something to report, but lookwe adore what Mike’s done for us,” Loomis said. “He is a wonderful player, one of the best at his position in the league, and hopefully we can keep him a Saint for a long time as well.”

A second-round choice in 2016, Thomas enters the last period of his rookie contract, set to create $1.148 million — peanuts compared to his values.
