Would you want him on our team? I heard on a local station (I live near baltimore) that he met with the Jet's, the Packer's - and the Patriot's.

No I would rather see him in green then in a Pats uniform, I think the Jets and Pats will both make a run at him, and I hope the Jets run the price up enough that the Pats wont sighn him, My guess is he will be a 49er next year

Obviously the answer is yes, just as I would like to have a 3 some with Jessica Alba and Alyssa Milano, but that too is beyond my reach. (note to self: time to get a new fantasy. damn!~)

Adam Schefter just reported on NFL Network that the New York Jets will be making a serious run at Adalius Thomas. Mangini wants him to be the playmaker on this defense.

He mentioned no other teams and was specifically reporting it is the Jets making the move for Thomas.

Which eliminates the Patriots because we all know they always make their intentions public as early and as loudly as possible.

====================================

The Pats could use Thomas (big need at LB), this just goes to show that I could be right about the Jets trying to run the price up to where the Pats will not want to sighn. The Jets could use Thomas also (big need at LB).

Why would the Pats want Thomas as an OLB?

So you think the Pats are set at OLB?

Thomas can play anywhere in the front 7, very versatile and fast.

I hope BB feels the same way as you.

As a Jet fan, seems to me that the Pats LB corp is getting a little long in the tooth, and is lacking in depth. JMHO.

***reflexblue*** · 02-24-2007, 10:55 AM

Yes, he can play inside,outside, and is fast enough to cover tight ends.

Vilma, and the whold defense, will benefit big time from having a dominant player in the LB corp.

Adalius Thomas
Eric Barton (or Hobson/draft pick/FA)
Jonathan Vilma
Bryan Thomas

That's a kick-ass group right there.
