Derek Carr still has nothing but love for Michael Thomas even though it’s clear that Thomas hates his guts.
During Sunday’s loss to the Carolina Panthers, the former Saints wide receiver went after Derek Carr following an injury to Chris Olave. Thomas blasted Carr’s quarterbacking skills, implying that Carr’s pass was the reason Olave suffered a concussion.
After the game, Carr was asked about his former teammate’s comments. Carr took the highroad and gave a classy response.
“I have love for Mike,” Carr said. “And when he does that, I don’t really care for it, obviously. You know, I’ve had so many teammates over the years and he’s like the one dude that didn’t get along with me. And I don’t know what I did to him, I don’t know why he feels that way. I’m sorry for whatever he’s dealing with to make him feel like he’s got to do that.”
Carr claimed that Thomas has never called him to discuss their differences, but that Carr has called Thomas on several occasions. He added that he wishes Thomas the best and hopes winds up on a team.
The 31-year-old Thomas is currently a free agent. He played for the Saints in 2023 with Carr as his quarterback. He finished the season with 39 receptions for 448 yards and one touchdown in 10 games.
