In fact I think the whole meeting with Thomas was done as a favor to Rosenhaus.

a favor to Rosenhaus? why? unless the Boy's were the only place Zach wanted to play, that makes no sense. Its not as if nobody else wanted his services. Rosenhaus wasn't in a position of weakness...why would he need a favor?

From all indications I ave read, Dallas was not the one who intitiated contact with respect to Thomas.

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.
