The Saints have been shuffling money around to stay under the salary cap for years, and as a result, Thomas has been no stranger to trade rumors. The move makes it both easier to trade him and incentivizes the Saints to trade him sooner rather than later. Thomas, who has battled injuries the last few seasons, seems likely to have his future decided early in the offseason.
