Zach Thomas: “It was Like Recess.”
“To me it wasn’t a job. It was like recess.” (Zach Thomas)
Spoken like a true football junkie, as Tony Sparano would put it. And now thanks to the Dolphins’ organization, that West Texas football junkie comes back home to retire as we all knew he rightfully should: a Miami Dolphin.
In his press conference today, which [...]

If the Chiefs Were the Cowboys, This Move Would Make Sense
At least, that's how the signing of Zach Thomas has been portrayed to me.
Last year, Thomas signed with the Dallas franchise and the move was heralded as a coup for Jerry Jones and the Boys.
"He'll bring leadership!"
"He's still got some gas in the tank!"
And so on...
Now, one year later (and admittedly, one year older), Thomas is a member of the Kansas...

Zach Thomas came back to the Dolphins for one day, joining the team with the idea of signing a one-day contract with the Dolphins to retire. The one-day contract, officially worth $1—but in actuality, worth so much more to Thomas, who was not happy with the way things ended with Miami when he left the team two seasons ago.
“I’m a little bit nervous right now,” Thomas said...

Zack Thomas is a 1st Ballot HOFer
Zach Thomas signed a one day contract yesterday with Miami so he could retire as a Dolphin. As a Jets fan, I can say that I hated his guts for over a decade, but he always had my respect. Thomas played middle linebacker for 13 years at 5’10” 225, way undersized for the amount of punishment he took and doled out over his career.
He has more tackles (yes, it’s an overrated stat...

Zach Thomas joked that he can walk into a Publix and not get recognized because he looks just like every other man.
While I don’t really believe him, I get the point he’s trying to make.

Seven-time Pro Bowler Zach Thomas to be released
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.
