A second-round pick out of Ohio State in 2016, Thomas posted 799 and 781 yards receiving in the 2014 and 2015 seasons. He was part of the 2014 national title team, and had 18 career touchdowns with the Buckeyes.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Former Ohio State wideout Michael Thomas was released by the Saints on Wednesday, officially ending his eight-year tenure with New Orleans.
Thomas was cut with a failed physical designation, and will be released as a post-June 1 transaction, which means they’ll be able to spread some of the salary cap burden from his contract into 2025.
