However, 2 different Super Bowl coaches have kept Thomas on their roster for multiple years.  So, he must have some value that we don't see/recognize.

It could just be 1 Super Bowl coach that is pounding the table for him. Mike Thomas' rookie year is the only year he hasn't played for a team Zac Taylor is coaching on. Could be Taylor just absolutely loves him some Mike Thomas. When Taylor left the Rams, Thomas didn't get re-signed there and was signed here for 1yr/$850k. So the Super Bowl WINNING coach didn't even see the value in him at one year of league minimum pay.

I'm pretty sure "must have some value that we don't see/recognize" is how people convinced others to get into NFTs/Crypto.
