Re: Cowboys sign LB Thomas
Doesn't surprise me. Was hoping he'd goto New England...
He wants to play for a contender and well the Saints aren't exactly that. Pats only offered him vet minimum, so BAM NFC East it is.

Re: Cowboys sign LB Thomas
He's old and can't stay healthy. He's a concussion waiting to happen. He's had a very nice career and I like the guy, but I don't think this is a big deal. On a side note, they must not be very happy with '06 1st round pick Bobby Carpenter. He was supposed to be a stud, and in two seasons he only has 1 start and 37 total tackles. Parcells doesn't make too many personnel blunders, but he did with Carpenter.

Re: Cowboys sign LB Thomas
I think he still has a year or two left. He's a good pick up for them.

Re: Cowboys sign LB Thomas
To everyone who thinks that Thomas was going to sign for the veteran minimum let this be a lesson to you. Guys don't settle for the veteran minimum as often as you think. I wish I could find a list of guys that have signed for the veteran minimum to show you how few quality guys sign for it every year.
On a side note Thomas deal is potentially worth 11 million dollars.

Re: Cowboys sign LB Thomas
Well I think the signing was done as a favor to Rosenhaus. He just happens to represent Marion Barber as well and they are in contract talks.
In fact I think the whole meeting with Thomas was done as a favor to Rosenhaus. |

Thomas has the same agent as a number of players on the team and hence the agent marketed his client. Due to a long standing relationship with the agent, the Cowboys agreed to talk to Thomas. And he came at a price that is affordable. Not to mention if he does not make the grade at camp and gets cut, there is zero cap hit. But on the outside of it all......I smell a trade. |
