Michael Thomas Gets Record-Breaking Contract Extension
Michael Thomas' training camp holdout didn't last long. The Saints wideout has reportedly agreed to a record-breaking contract extension worth $100 million.
The five-year deal not only makes Thomas the highest-paid receiver in football, but the $61 million in guaranteed money is the most ever for any non-quarterback offensive player.
Last season, Thomas posted an NFL-leading 125 catches along with 1,405 yards and nine touchdowns.
