He'd be great in the redzone and he's as crafty a route runner as Travis imo.
The only way I'd consider Thomas is for league minimum and I damn sure wouldn't even give up a 7th round pick in next year's draft for him. Before last season it was actually 3 seasons that he was completely unavailable and only played in 10/50 games. It's not like he had those 3 seasons of being hurt then came back last year and played 14+ games. He technically played in 10, but he only played in 2 snaps in week 10, so he could barely make it past half a season before ending the season on IR (again) because of a strained MCL. [Reply]

It’s not an exaggeration to say he has injury issues that affect every season. In that span only in 2019 could you count on him playing each game. Every other season is littered with large swings in his snap count week to week.
That's what the Chargers training staff will do for your career. There is something going on with that franchise that is more than bad luck when it comes to it's medical team. They still have the doctor that shot up Tyrod Taylors lung instead of his ribs as the Head Team Physician.
I find it hard to believe that the Chargers have just had bad luck with injuries for like a fucking decade now. Gotta be more to it. [Reply]

He played seven games for 400 yards in 2020 when it was still a sixteen regular game season so he played pretty much half the season at least. Would it be a risk? Yes. But so would Mike Williams be a huge risk and I'd rather take a risk on a cheaper guy without an acl recovery timeline to deal with. [Reply]
