The 2024 NFL draft will begin on April 25 and end on April 27, 2024. Before the draft, franchises traded players to bring in new talents. A sudden comment from a reporter on Thomas’ future at the Saints made him furious, and he slammed him with harsh words.
Why did Michael Thomas criticize journalist Jeff Duncan?
A recent report by Louisiana journalist Jeff Duncan, who works for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, suggested that the Saints are looking to offload Thomas this season. As soon as the reporter posted the news, the wideout went wild and didn’t hesitate to attack the reporter.
Saints number 13 tweeted, “Jeff Duncan, funny how they were planning on releasing me if I was on a one-year deal.” Thomas also suggested not to fall into Duncan’s trap, as he was the guy who earlier stated that wideout was not as good as he was and later tried to be his friend.
Jeff Duncan is a hoe. Trying to stay relevant so let’s speak on it. The Saints leak information to him to try to ruin players value but see I’m not broke so I can speak on it. He is broke so he need clicks. Go look at all his articles that never end up being true.
