Wide receiver Michael Thomas is back in Saints camp after signing a big-money contract extension. Today was his first post-practice interview, and while he fielded questions about what it was like to be back, it was Saints defensive end Cam Jordan who cut to the chase.

"How does it feel to have all that money," Jordan asked his teammate. "How does it feel to have Jalen Ramsey Brinks truck pull up to you?"
"I don't have any money yet," Thomas replied.
Thomas is in the final year of his rookie contract. His five year extension guarantees a reported $61 million and could total $100 million if he meets all of his incentives.
While the deal makes Thomas currently the highest-paid NFL wide receiver, NFL insiders say the Atlanta Falcons' Julio Jones and Dallas Cowboys' Amari Cooper could soon eclipse that amount.
