So this is interesting. Lions Wire’s Jeff Risdon put together an expansive mock offseason for the Detroit Lions, seeing Dan Campbell’s team open up their war chest of draft picks to go trade for big upgrades to their roster. And one of the first items on his hypothetical agenda is a big trade for New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas.
Let’s preface by noting there’s no reason to think Thomas is on the trade block. First-year Saints head coach Dennis Allen praised Thomas in his recovery from ankle surgery, though he stopped short of sharing a timeline in which to expect Thomas on the field, saying on WWL Radio Tuesday: “I know he’s working extremely hard to get himself back and ready to go. He’s really committed to the season and looking forward to getting started.”
