Thomas on one side and Brown on the other side would give defenses fits.

I'd rather bring in an afterburner to take the top off the defense.

Thomas hasn’t been a problem but he definitely has an “Ego”, that’d sure be an interesting balance..

I'm not familiar with WR AB background but if he's not a headcase and the $ is doable sure. He made the game 2 weeks ago interesting.

Too expensive b/c we have to pay Thomas in 2020. We might be able to work out a 1 year deal with him, but I doubt we could get anywhere near what his market value will be.

Technically we could make it work, but that would take up most/all of our remaining salary cap. It would seriously hurt our depth that we need to re-sign. Probably couldn't re-sign Ingram either.

I wish we could say we will fix the burner WR need in the draft this year.

21,120,000 dead cap

Nope. Not gonna happen.

Maybe a June 1st cut if they're desperate to get rid of him. He would have to piss them off severely though.

If Drew has Thomas and AB to throw to, he may throw for 6000 yards next year. However this doesn’t even work in Madden.

If we want to go all out to win a SB and are willing to pay an aging (30+) AB ~$18m/yr instead of a young MT, then yeah we can. I wouldn't do it, but if we believe that we can continue drafting like badasses, then it's something to consider.

MIGHT even be able to keep both if you're willing to let the likes of Ingram, Bell, and maybe a Kamara/Armstread type leave. And definitely not keeping Teddy.

Can’t afford it. I like our group of Thomas, Ginn, Smith and Meridith. Need to develop Kirkwood and stay healthy.

I’d love to see him wearing the REAL black & gold next year, but he is going to be pricy $$$$$$$$$$$

Do I want the best WR in the NFL the last 5 years on our team? Hell yes.

Do I think we can afford him and pay our young players? Hell no.

I want tony pollard from Memphis in the draft. He’ll be just as good in a couple years and can return punts and kicks

he is a head case and a locker room cancer

he is grossly overpaid an insane amount they hoped would resolve his selfish drama queen antics yet he has only gotten worse.

the man is a cancerous poison to any team he goes too, as well as the fact his contract costs a fortune.

few teams can afford his contract regardless of his disciplinary issues, so no one but the most desperate teams would be willing to risk it.
