Michael Thomas is telling us how he really feels.
The former New Orleans Saints receiver is currently a free agent, but it's safe to say he won't be using his old colleague Derek Carr as a reference anytime soon.
Thomas' rant on X, formerly Twitter, came after Chris Olave suffered a second concussion in less than a month. Olave was on the receiving end of a brutal hit from Panthers safety Xavier Woods, who was flagged for unnecessary roughness. Olave was carted off the field on a stretcher while wearing a neck brace. He was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation
After seeing the scene evolving in Carolina, Thomas took to social media to voice his displeasure with his former teammate.

Michael Thomas rips Derek Carr on X
Thomas, who only experienced life with Carr for 10 games during the 2023 season, clearly isn't a fan of the quarterback.
"Derek Carr for you I been told yall (expletive) sad," the initial post read. "Dude scary and panic and just throw the ball. Get him the f out of here he so (expletive)," Thomas continued.
Thomas also took aim at Carr's 2022 season when the quarterback was still with the Raiders. Carr's buddy, as Thomas said, is Davante Adams, who made first team All-Pro in his first season out of Green Bay.
"That year his buddy went 1st team all pro in 2022 he needed 180 targets just to catch 100 passes," another post read. "He is (expletive) on my granny."
This isn't the first time that Thomas has voiced his displeasure with Carr, however. After suffering a season-ending knee injury in 2023, Thomas criticized Carr on social media for throwing a bad ball.
"Dude tried to lie and say I was jealous of them making Chris WR1 whole time he can't even get him a decent ball," Thomas said. He need his (expletive) whooped. They fired all them coaches trying to cover his flaws up he still doing the same (expletive)."
After the game, Carr was given the chance to respond to Thomas' rant.
"I have love for Mike," Carr said. "And when he does that, I don't really care for it, obviously. I've had so many teammates over the years, and he's like the one dude that didn't get along with me. 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."
Carr said he's never received a call from Thomas and added that he wishes the best for his former teammate.
What team does Michael Thomas play for?
Thomas is currently a free agent. He was released by the Saints with a failed physical designation. The move was announced in March 2024 that New Orleans would designate Thomas as a post-June 1 cut.
Michael Thomas stats
At his peak, Thomas was considered one of the best receivers in the sport. After being drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Thomas began his career with four straight seasons of at least 1,000 receiving yards. The former Ohio State Buckeye became the go-to target for then-quarterback Drew Brees.
His connection with Brees helped deliver one of the best seasons for a receiver in NFL history in 2019. Thomas was named offensive player of the year after hauling in 149 catches for 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns. A three-time pro bowler and two-time first team All-Pro, Thomas was never the same player after that season. The previously durable player suddenly became hampered with injuries. From 2020 to 2023, Thomas would appear in just 20 games and missed the entire 2021 season.
