I don't think he reasonably gets cut until next year as a post-June 1 designation when the Saints would recoup $6M in cap space doing so. If they did that this year they'd only gain back about $1M. I guess you might be able to sway them with a trade after June 1st, they'd only get back $1M in cap space but his contract would be off their books in 2024 onwards. His salary is only about one million a year the next two years which is roughly all the Pats would be responsible for (plus small roster bonuses). I'd have to imagine he'd want some kind of signing bonus to come over but considering his recent history, he can't command much.I know his injury history the last 2 years but I’d be interested in Michael Thomas when he becomes available while also addressing wr in the draft. This is assuming we don’t match what Meyers will get in FA.
Edit: I just read up on it, looks like they redid his deal in January where he has a $30M signing bonus that comes due on March 17th, so they'll either cut him as a June-1 designation before that for an extra $1M if they don't want him, or they will keep him if they do want him. A trade seems very unlikely since any team knows they can just wait two weeks for him to get cut.
