The New Orleans Saints are expected to release wide receiver Michael Thomas ahead of the start of NFL free agency on Wednesday, according to Jeff Duncan of The Times-Picayune. 
Thomas, 31, was once a premiere wide receiver in the NFL but in recent years he’s struggled to stay on the field and when he has, he’s looked like a shell of his former All-Pro self. Since setting the NFL single-season record for catches (149) in 2019, Thomas has appeared in just 20 games. This past season, he started in seven of his 10 games played, tallying 39 catches for 448 yards and just one touchdown.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have interest in signing Wilson and are already set to meet with the free agent, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette reported Thursday. Dulac also reports that Wilson has mutual interest in potentially joining the Steelers.
