Big news out of the New Orleans Saints facility with Michael Thomas expected to miss the start of the 2021 NFL season. Host Ross Jackson breaks down the timeline, what happened, and what's next in today's Locked On Saints.Which free agent options the New Orleans Saints could pursue to pacify the loss of Michael Thomas to start the season? The key will be focusing on adding the WR core as opposed to trying to replace MT. Options like Josh Gordon and Larry Fitzgerald are "what if's" based on availability. But could Alshon Jeffrey or Kenny Stills be an option?The Saints shouldn't limit themselves to the free agent market. They have the draft capital and money to pursue trade options as well. Patriots WR N'Keal Harry's fracture relationship in Foxboro could be a cheap price to pay for the Saints. Chicago Bears WR Anthony Miller has been rumored to be on the market, and an established relationship with the Miami Dolphins could also come in handy.Follow Ross on Twitter @RossJacksonNOLASupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
