Thomas can play all 3 LB positions but he admits that weakside is his best position. I was surprised to read that D. Hall was instrumental in getting him to sign here. They were teammates in Oakland and Hall told him he would really like it here. That it was nothing like Oakland. Hall seems to think highly of him.

Oakland is where players go to die - or where they escape from to be resurrected.

Nice chatting with you guys. G'night and have a great day tomorrow.

Saw that too...Hall had some very positive things to say about Thomas. I think i'm more comfortable w/ the signing if he's just here to replace Khary...don't have any problem w/ the guy competing for a starting job but w/ his injury history we'd be nuts to rely on him.

...it always brings me back to the point about preferring Marcus to just about anyone else available in FA. Most of em have injury history, but they don't know our system and don't bring the intangibles Marcus brings. I wish the dude would just swallow his pride and re-sign on the cheap...shit he's still getting all the money from his release fee so we're paying him either way and dammit nobody looks to be paying him more than we're offering. Stubborn bloke!!

I agree with everything you're saying. Yeah I'm afraid he's gonna wait to late and the FO is gonna say they already have the position filled. Pride can be a bitch.

Marcus might come back after the draft, depending on who we select. He won't come back before then.
