this is just part of negotiation. His price is too high right now and he hopes someone reaches for him. He doesn't need to go through minicamp and OTAs, but when training camp comes around his price will start dropping. He'll definitly sign with someone just not at the same price he had with the Pats.

Ditto, someone will pick him up for the right price. Teams have been known to pick up worse Pats players for all kinds of reasons but more on the cheap than AD. He'll land somewhere for the right price.

He'll take a veteran minimum deal with a token bonus somewhere; but seriously who wants a LB who threatened to fake injuries, and was a distraction to a playoff calibre team, and whose only current goal seems to be revenge on the former team?

5 Rings for Brady!!

After Ty Law left the Pats to feed his family, he struggled to earn about two or three million dollars less than what the Pats had offered him to stay.

AD may spend the rest of his career trying to earn what he would have earned this year with the Pats. Quite a price to pay to 'be your own man'.

I'm sure Thomas will be on a TC roster, but I don't think you can easily lump him with other ex-Patriots. The team didn't just let him go, they sent him out of Gillette with a catapult.

No one said he won't get picked up. He is just most likely going to get picked up for next to nothing. It is quite clear that most teams have seen what many of us and Belichick and the coaching staff have seen in that he just isn't that good anymore and with his attitude, he isn't worth spending money on.

My guess is that he will end up getting an one to two year deal with a modest bonus and salary and probably some incentives. No one is extremely hot on this guy and even the Jets seem lukewarm on him. Wherever he signs, he also won't be assured of a roster spot either. He will have to fight to get on the final 53 man roster since he brings no value to special teams and is probably nothing more than a situational player at this point.

I'll sign him... to mow my lawn and paint my house.... for slightly less than the Pats were paying him. I'd offer more if he'd plow my driveway, but something tells me he'd never show up on time to get the job done.

True but do you really think he's that much of a pariah (pariah being a strong word I know but it's the best I can come up with lol). I'm glad he's gone but I still have a hard time thinking that no team would pick him up at the right price, I mean some teams' standards aren't exactly like ours plus he's familiar with our system. He didn't execute it but he's heard it. I don't know?

Once teams lose LBs to injury in camp, AD will be signed...vet scale plus incentive bonus. No big $ (for a NFL player that is).
