Despite signing a four-year, $160 million contract extension in 2022, Jones struggled with injuries and performance issues, leading to the Giants' decision. The team, currently 2-8, is expected to draft a new quarterback next year, potentially freeing up $20 million in salary cap space.

"Michael Thomas Fires Back as Saints Prepare to Release Him, Accuses NFL Columnist of Ruining His Value"

The New Orleans Saints are set to release wide receiver Michael Thomas ahead of the 2024 NFL free agency, ending an eight-season partnership marked by injuries and declining performance. Thomas disputed the characterization of his release, accusing columnist Jeff Duncan of trying to "ruin" his value. The 31-year-old's departure had been anticipated due to his injury history and the structure of his contract, which allowed the Saints to save $1.2 million against their 2024 salary cap by cutting him. Despite early career success, Thomas' recent seasons have been marred by injuries, limiting his playing time and productivity.
