Seven-time Pro Bowler Zach Thomas to be released

Found February 14, 2008 on Phin Phanatic:
77566607
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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    by tedhill   February 14, 2008   Reply   Options  
  • 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.

  • was a great player cant say enough about the guy........hes the type of guy the eagles could use as veteran leadership
    by Justwannawinna   February 14, 2008   Reply   Options  
  • he was a great player but i think itz his time.He been having migranes since that car crash and is 35 .coming from a dolphin fan i would love for him to just retire than go to another tema and play for them
    im gonna miss the guy

  • 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)
    by Sportaphile   February 15, 2008   Reply   Options  
  • 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.
    by ShadyMDUK   February 15, 2008   Reply   Options  
  • I'll like to see if he gets that extra spark with a new team like Ty Law

  • 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.
