GETTING CALLS
Rosenhaus said he got several calls from teams interested in Thomas within hours of the player's release. The agent would not disclose what teams had called but did admit he's got a list of teams Thomas would be interested in playing for. Among those are Dallas, New England, Indianapolis and San Diego.

He's a heck of a LB - still. He'll fit anywhere he wants to. As long as you're not asking him to take on blockers consistently, he can play LB anywhere.
I don't think we can yet. Free Agency doesn't start until the end of the month.ilovejerry;1956826 said:My uncle ( who lIves in FLA ) just told me that Joe rose radio reported that the Cowboys offered ZT a contract is that true?

I could be wrong since he was released, but I'm pretty skeptical of that. Hell of a leader and I wouldn't hate it.

I think it's either 4 years or 5 years of experience . . . .
This is all you want from your athletes.
You want them to care as much as you do. You want them to wear their real jerseys with the same pride and passion as you wear their replicas.
You want them to play hurt. You want them to hurt most after losses......
Even with Shaggy's help, Scooby couldn't solve crime with the same swiftness that Thomas could crack formations and plays. He was instinctual, yes, but that instinct was the product of design. He was obsessively studious, rewinding tape in dark rooms long after less accomplished teammates had left to study the nightlife.
He was organized, keeping notebooks. And he was just plain intelligent, his nimble mind evident in his approach to everything from all-out blitzes to all-in poker plays.
He was savvy in the way he approached all aspects of his job, benefiting from his understanding that it was a job, his paranoia that someone else could come take it, and his awareness that it extended far beyond the field. He sought every conceivable legal edge, from the hyperbaric chamber to visualization to massage therapy to special diets.
He never seemed comfortable with the notion of leading.
His example did, however.
