The latest tweets from @michaeldthomas. The New Orleans Saints might have a Michael Thomas problem on their hands, and NFL Twitter is reacting to the drama in entirely predictable fashion. Jan 24, 2021 — Michael Thomas (@Cantguardmike) January 24, 2021 All of this stems from last week, when Davis and the Buccaneers defense held Thomas without a catch on four targets in a playoff win over the.

The latest tweets from @Cernovich. Jun 03, 2020 Not long after that clip started making the rounds on Twitter, Saints receiver Michael Thomas fired off two tweets that seemed to be aimed at his quarterback. He don’t know no better.

Can't Guard Mike

The Tampa Buccaneers defense flustered the New Orleans Saints in their Divisional Round win earlier in January. A big part of that was Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis completely shutting down Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas, as the star wideout didn't register a single catch in the game.

Davis didn't have the same luck during Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers, however, as he allowed a 47-yard touchdown to Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Thomas, watching at home, ended up tweeting throughout the game and instead of taking shots at Davis, he appeared to be take some shot at his quarterback, Drew Brees.

After Davis allowed the long touchdown to Valdes-Scantling, Thomas -- whose Twitter account is private -- tweeted that if a 'DB know the QB can't throw deep they going to play aggressive underneath with safety help over the top,' according to Radio.com.

Thomas didn't elaborate on the tweet, but it is pretty clearly a shot at the 42-year-old Brees' inability to throw deep passes at this point in his career. It looks like the wide out believes he had zero catches against the Bucs because of Brees.

In addition, Thomas tweeted a GIF of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill and captioned it 'help is on the way.' This is most likely referring to the fact that Brees is expected to retire, but the future Hall of Fame signal caller hasn't made that decision official just yet. If he does call it quits, there will be a new QB in New Orleans -- one who, Thomas hopes, can throw the deep ball.

Following the series of tweets, Thomas noticed that his comments were causing an uproar, so he joked about setting up a burner account.

It's certainly going to be interesting to see what the Saints do if Brees chooses to retire. The team signed Jameis Winston to a one-year deal last offseason, so New Orleans could choose to keep him around. The Saints also have jack-of-all-trades quarterback Taysom Hill on their roster, who started while Brees was out with a rib injury during the regular season.

Shortly after news broke that the Seattle Seahawks traded for Jamal Adams, New Orleans Saints star Michael Thomas made it known he wants Jadeveon Clowney on his squad.

Taking to Twitter, Thomas wrote, “Clowney to New Orleans or I don’t want to hear it.”

For what it’s worth, after the Adams blockbuster trade, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN wrote on Twitter that it “all but closes [the] book on Clowney.”

Notes on Jamal Adams/Seahawks, per sources.

Parties involved believed 49ers, Cowboys were both in.

A deal now not stipulation for trade, can extend this year or next.

Draft uncertainty a factor.

All but closes book on Clowney.

Team views Adams as weapon more than safety

— Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) July 25, 2020

Remember, the Seahawks have always maintained that Clowney could potentially come back and play for them in 2020. That no longer seems like a viable option.

Adding Clowney to the Saints roster would certainly be a power move to help the franchise stay competitive in the now-brutally tough NFC South. The question at this time is whether New Orleans has enough cap space to make such a move.

According to Spotrac, the Saints rank 24th in the NFL with just over $8 million in cap space heading into training camp.

Given the reports that Clowney is looking for significantly more money than that, it seems unlikely that he will join the Saints in 2020. Of course, perhaps at this time after going the entire offseason and into camp without any significant offers, he might be willing to change his tune and ink a team-friendly deal to play for a contender.

Since being selected first overall by the Houston Texans out of South Carolina in 2014, Clowney has had his ups and downs. Injuries defined his early career, as he missed most of his rookie season and a few games in his next two campaigns for Houston. However, since then Clowney has been able to stay on the field more consistently and has made a big impact as a dominant all-around force off the edge.

Though he hasn’t racked up elite sack totals, Clowney is very tough against the run and makes plenty of splash plays worthy of highlight reels. (Like this.)

All told, Clowney has tallied 236 tackles, 71 for a loss, 32 sacks, eight forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries, one interception and three defensive touchdowns in six seasons as a pro.
