Devin Thomas was given plenty of chances here in Washington to establish himself. He rubbed Shanny the wrong way and never got out of the doghouse. He could very well be another stud receiver that the Redskins blew their chance on. However, considering no one (The Pats traded back for Deion Branch for pete's sake) wanted to take a chance on him, I don't see it happening that way.

Actually,from what I understand,the Patriots had put in a claim for D.Thomas,but Carolina had dibs on claiming him 1st.
In other words...If he wasn't playing for Carolina,he would be a Patriot now...
Then the Patriots went a head and traded for Branch for the 4th round pick.
