Regeln » to Houston, Texas, and that’s still the same goal I ha

It’s not quite the Brady Six Nick Martin Jersey , but Saints receiver Michael Thomas likely is thinking about five specific names as the ink dries on his five-year, $100 million* extension. (The asterisk will be explained in a future post.)In 2016, five receivers were drafted before Thomas, the 47th pick in the draft. None of them have come close to doing what Thomas has done in New Orleans.From Corey Coleman (15th overall) to Will Fuller (21st) to Josh Doctson (22nd) to Laquon Treadwell (23rd) to Sterling Sheppard (40th), all have been — relative to Thomas — not great. Sheppard has come the closest to the production that Thomas has generated, but Sheppard is still averaging 500 yards per year (1 Tyler Ervin Jersey ,500 total) fewer than Thomas.Indeed, Thomas has more than 500 more career receiving yards than the four 2016 first-round receivers combined. He has 3,787; Coleman, Fuller, Doctson, and Treadwell have 3 Benardrick McKinney Jersey ,257 among them.Motivated in part by sliding to 47th, it’s fair to wonder whether Thomas would have been as good if he didn’t have the chip on his shoulder that comes from being drafted lower than he believes he should have been drafted. Regardless, he landed where he did, he’s done what he’s done, and now he’s getting paid huge money — more per year in new money than any receiver in NFL history.Of course, that may not last long. A guy who slid to round five in that same draft currently plays for the Chiefs Bradley Roby Jersey , and with Thomas setting the bar at $20 million per year, Tyreek Hill surely will try to match or beat it. Laremy Tunsil had a goal in Miami. He has the same goal in Houston.The left tackle might find it easier to accomplish with the Texans, though, as Houston won the division last season. The Dolphins, who have made the postseason once in the past 10 years, appear to be rebuilding.“I had a goal in Miami Tashaun Gipson Jersey ,” Tunsil told reporters Thursday in his first comments since the trade. “I came to Houston, Texas, and that’s still the same goal I have and that’s to become a leader on this football team and to help this team as much as I can.”The Texans traded Duane Brown to the Seahawks in 2017 and have searched for his replacement since. They became desperate after Deshaun Watson took a league-high 62 sacks last season.The Dolphins traded Tunsil and receiver Kenny Stills for two first-round draft picks and a second-round selection to better protect Watson.“We don’t want Deshaun to get touched 62 times,” Tunsil said, via Brian Smith of the . “Things happen. But 62 is a big number. We’re going to work our butt off in practice, work our butt off in the film room and do everything we can to improve that.”
