The New Orleans Saints made one of the first big moves this offseason after signing Derek Carr.
Say what you want about Carr, but he’s a good (not great) quarterback who should help New Orleans improve.
At the very least, it appears wide receiver Michael Thomas is excited to have the veteran quarterback join the Saints. He shared a quick reaction on Twitter after the initial news broke.
Thank you Jesus 🙏🏾

He also retweeted this post from the NFL.

Clearly, Michael Thomas is a big fan of this signing. Even so, NFL fans couldn’t help but make jokes about him and the Saints.

I mean, Carr is better than Andy Dalton.
For Derek Carr? This is using the lords name in vain https://t.co/pf6tMxV1sC

NFL fans are not forgetting Thomas’ injury history.
Why do you even care? You will only play like 4 games this season. https://t.co/LWi3X7ymta pic.twitter.com/v3SYKfg1Ct

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Thomas in action.

This would probably break the NFL world.
My boy gonna reveal he was never hurt, just disgusted. https://t.co/87kcyTLNbR

Hey, at least Thomas is excited about his new quarterback. It’d be a whole different situation if he was bashing Derek Carr.
Look for the Saints to potentially improve, especially if Michael Thomas finally returns healthy. If that happens, then NFL fans might be in for a rude awakening.
