Thomas thrived under Ryan, add to that he's ex divisional rival and it's a shrewd bit of business for the Jests. Thomas became a bad apple here for one reason or another, now he'll be in a new locker room and potentially under a coach and system he thrived in.

They aren't "discussing" it, I've always held the opinion it would be a formality should we cut him.

Rex is asking Goodell if he could have 95 players on the opening day roster.

Hopefully he'll bring his cancerous influence into their locker room.

If this happens, it will great move by the Jets alright...for us.

Not fussed. Personality clash or not being benched and playing like a pansy only reflects poorly on Adalius Thomas and Adalius Thomas only. I'd love for the Jets to sign him. LdT, Holmes, Edwards, Thomas and the rest of the gang in the same locker room. They better hope they go better than 9-7 in the regular season.

I don't buy into people saying it will be easier to get sacks. The Jets showed a small ability to get sacks last season and it will be the same this year. What they have been able to do under Rex Ryan is create match ups and pressure schemes that hurried QB's. Brady picked it apart and so did Manning. People are underestimating that the NFL has had a season to see how Ryan's Jets work. It will be far easier the scheme against them this season now the Cinderella period is over.

Thanks for your contribution Adalius. I wished it were more but you simply weren't man enough to take that responsibility on your shoulders and run with it as one of the remaining veterans.

Thomas becoming a Jet was the expected outcome for many of us, so this comes as no surprise.

Problem with that is he sucks at rushing the QB.
If he was any good at it any more none of these problems would have occured.
Too many people are overlooking the central issue.
Thomas was stripped of pass rushing duties, Thomas was unhappy, and Thomas is no longer a Pat because of LACK OF ABILITY.

If the Jets have him rushing the passer, they have a bad player in that role.

And for all the talk of this great locker room, they sure seem to be doing a lot of ******ing about Leon and Faneca. Easy for Rex to be a player's coach when he didn't have to make those tough HC decisions.

His success was a long time ago, with skills that had not eroded.
