A new favorite has emerged to land former New Orleans Saints All-Pro wide receiver Michael Thomas as the 2024 regular season approaches.
Earlier this season, the Saints released Michael Thomas in a cap-saving move following another injury-riddled season. With training camp just around the corner, the 2019 Offensive Player of the Year surprisingly remains a free agent.
According to BetOnline, the Dallas Cowboys are the overwhelming favorites to sign Thomas at +300. The Buffalo Bills are a distant second on the odds list at +500, followed by the Baltimore Ravens (+600), Denver Broncos (hello, Sean Payton), Kansas City Chiefs (+1000) and Jacksonville Jaguars (+1000).
Since 2022, it’s been obvious that the Cowboys need adequate wide receiver depth to complement superstar CeeDee Lamb. Tight end Jake Ferguson was Dallas’ second-leading receiver in 2023 with a 71-761-5 stat line.

So Michael Thomas makes good sense for the Cowboys here. Even if the former Pro Bowler is well past his prime, “Can’t Guard Mike” could at least be a useful No. 3 or No. 4 pass-catcher and red zone target.
It’s worth noting that the Saints visit the Cowboys in Week 2. So if Thomas were to sign with Dallas, he wouldn’t have to wait long for revenge against his former team.
In his final season with the Saints, Thomas recorded 39 receptions for 448 yards and one touchdown. For his career, the 31-year-old has 565 receptions for 6,569 yards and 36 touchdowns.
Michael Thomas’ Career Has Been Marred By Injuries
The 2016 second-round pick was on a Hall of Fame trajectory early in his career, recording over 90 receptions and more than 1,100 yards in each of his first four seasons. Thomas set a new single-season record for receptions (149) back in 2019, which still stands today.
Unfortunately, a string of injuries have quickly derailed Thomas’ chances of earning a spot in Canton. He missed all but seven games in 2020, the entire 2021 season, 14 games in 2022 and seven games last year.
