NFL suspends free agent receiver Michael Thomas for rules violation

Free agent wide receiver Michael Thomas, who spent the past eight seasons with the New Orleans Saints, continues to search for a new NFL home.

If Thomas does sign with a team at some point over the next week, he will not be eligible to take the field during the NFL’s opening week. The league determined the two-time All-Pro violated the NFL's personal conduct policy in November.

Thomas was arrested in November 2023 in Kenner, Louisiana, after a confrontation with a construction worker.
