Saying a player was cut never sounds good, to the player or the fan base. In this instance however, I think the Dolphins helped out Zach Thomas in some respect. Since he wasn't traded, he can go to any team of his choosing, assuming they are interested.

    yeah i agree some contender will offer him up a deal not the eagles though they have a good set of young LBs and Takeo Spikes. He would probably be a good fit in San Diego

    Wow... I like Zach... He was a strong contributor to my fantasy football team last year for the period of time that he played. I hope he gets picked up quickly and is fairly compensated.

      Zach has had a great career. Even if he was young, he wouldn't fit in Parcell's scheme. I know Parcells in not going to be the coach, but he does like the big LB's. Been the same everywhere he goes.

    Pats on the phone in 3, 2, 1, ...

      Yeah, that almost seems like an inevitability doesn't it?

    This hurts. I get it. But he's one of the best to play the game- period. And I agree. He might as well start looking for a home in MA now.

    lol @ the Pats being the designated 'old folks home'....

    I don't think the Patriots would replace their aging linebackers with a different aging linebacker.

    I like it. Bill Parcells is cleaning house. Thomas was good and may have some tread left, but why gamble on a concussion case linebacker?

      Because the best LB you have now doesn't know where London is located and sometimes crashes his car and leaves the scene of the wreck.

        We have Joey Porter, who I believe is better than Channing Crowder.

    Sorry, I forgot about Porter.

    My comment should have read:
    "Because the best LB you have now gang tackles offense linemen in casinos and guarantees victories against the Raiders only to allow them to rush for 299 yards."

    My apologies.

  • Justind15

    nah, Zach is good enough to make the pro bowl again... he deserves to take a shot at the championship with another team (as long as it isnt new england)
  • ShadyMDUK
    Sorry to see him go. Hand on heart he doesn't fit the new 3-4 they're looking to install but I think he has another good year or two in him. Sure gonna be a shame to see him in a different uniform next year though.
  • I'll like to see if he gets that extra spark with a new team like Ty Law

      Looks like the Cowboys are inviting him in for an interview. He's a good veteran leader that be an asset to a team. He didn't get to play much this season due to complications from a concussion.

        Hey 5, he said on NFL Radio that he does not want to go to a team that is rebuilding...That would leave Dallas out of the mix.

          Not sure if you can place Dallas in rebuilding mode, but I really don't care if he comes here or not. Would be a nice addition, but if he goes elsehwere, I won't lose any sleep over it.
