Well, Rex Ryan did say that the Jets are waiting the market to be set for Thomas before they consider pursuing him. It is quite clear he meant that they want to make sure the market is set so they don't underpay him and screw him over. Yes, they could get him for a song now, but is that really fair for Thomas and Jets want to look out for Thomas' best interest.
Seriously, has any free agent ever been signed in training camp for much more than an one to two year deal for around the veteran minimum and modest signing bonuses and/or incentives. Any free agent who pulls themselves off the market until training camp either know they aren't going to get more than that and figure they might as well avoid offseason OTAs or are one of the dumbest people on the planet.
No way does Thomas get a good deal in training camp. If he gets anything other than a very modest deal it will be in the next few weeks. Considering there is no action on the guy, it is doubtful.
