I think they are temporarily losing the Patriots' number to prevent any more muggings

Trade him to someone for a 6th round draft pick so they can use that to move up in the 4th round...

we weren't getting higher then a 4th rounder for him, so if anything happens it would be tomorrow. As the roster stands, we need him on the team, locker room cancer aside.

Third String But Playing on Special Teams

Adalius was asked to play a lot of inside linebacker when he got here, not his natural position.

By taking Spikes to pair with Mayo and McKenzie, Adalius can now use the full range of his talents by sliding back to outside linebacker, and now with Belichick as coordinator.

I don't think that just because he was frustrated last year, that it means he's done talent-wise or production-wise. Belichick has taken malcontents from other teams and made them productive here (Dillon, Moss), maybe he can do the same for a guy within his own organization now that the coordinator is gone.

I don't think Dean Pees was a very good coordinator. He screwed around with Meriweather (and Adalius too when he got here), never really developed any young players (especially the corners, and I think Mayo self-developed himself), and I don't think Pees used his players very well either. Jarvis fell off the radar under Pees, and a few others too.
I think that's way overstated.

I do think that if the Pats keep Thomas he'll basically shut up and solider. However, I don't think they'll keep him, or that they'll get more than JAG performance out if him if they do.

He's due 4.5M or something like that.

No way they keep him for that much money.

He sucks anyway, he was probably never that good in the first place, unfortunately.

I think BB learned a hard lesson from this and is reluctant to sign high priced FAs because of it.

Plus he's a malcontent cancer.

Come to think of it -- maybe we can trade him to the Raiders for a possibly useful player. Any names come to mind?

AD is NOT coming back. Get over it. We have a locker room full of rookies and first-year kids and we're going to risk exposing them to a divisive locker room?

Football isn't all about the X's and O's.

Yep, as long as he's not in the locker room corrupting our youth, I don't give a crap what happens to him. Just go away, Thomas.
