I want to see where people stand on this now, versus in the immediate aftermath of the snowstorm incident.

Also, I'm not drawing a distinction between being cut or getting traded; either way, he'd no longer be a Patriot.

I sure hope not... what a waste of space.

hmm....after the storm i honestly felt he may not be active all year

however, it seems the last two weeks hes elevated his play...so now im waiting to see what comes of it and if he can find some sort of consistency

I'm going to let emotions all around settle down and see how the rest of the season plays out. So, my answer is "Too Soon to Tell."

In watching a few of his games, I'm not too certain whether this player is giving his all anymore. Honestly, when you fail to block David Garrard as an OLB you've got some issues.

F. too early to tell... one of the problems with this D is the reliance on Stats, in reality we do not know what his assignment has been and what BB expected of him.. recently he has seemed more visible.

...Nawp, too early to tell what will happen. I don't think BB will do anything until at least a couple of weeks after the season ends (and completes the season evaluations)....

Can't see him coming back, maybe he is try to put some effort into to it so he can "audition" for the other teams?

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."

How much of his $20 million in guaranteed money was a signing bonus? If there is any guaranteed money left to be paid out on his contract, would that responsibility be transfered to a trade partner in the event of a trade? If there is any guaranteed money left to be paid out, how much is left? What comes off the cap if he is cut/traded? Barring gross misconduct on AD's part, I think this is a 'value' decision that the bean counters will need to give the OK on.

Trade him to the Giants for Osi Umenyiora in a swap of malcontents. The contracts would essentially cancel out. Both guys have underperformed but are talented, and could benefit from a change of scene. The Pats need pass rushers more than the Giants, and the Giants desperately need LBs. Thomas is much more talented than anyone the Giants have at LB, and could do well playing behind their killer DL. Each team would get rid of an underperforming problem player and fill a need.
