I wonder what those terms will be... 5 years, 45M, 14M upfront?

49M for a guard.. anything is possible.

Signing Thomas will prevent the flu, stop officials from making piss poor calls, and force the offense to run the ball instead of passing and taking no time off the clock?

Hmmmmm...... who knew?

I would be surprised if no one else had seen this. It was at the very beginning of the show. Michelle Bonner asks John Clayton about Adalius Thomas and Clayton said he is in negiotiations with the Pats as we speak.

Well put.

I'm sure BB had his eyes on AT long before the AFCCG. His versatility will be sick. OLB, ILB, whatever, he's going to allow BB to do some fun scheming.

Perillo was talking about this like it was a done deal on NEST.

I hope they don't jinx it...

Thats true, its easy to get excited over a highlight film... what about the special teams though..... the word "complete" is unavoidable.

He does not leave the room until he is signed to a deal. If this goes through, oh man, I don't know what I am going to do, all I know is I will be celebrating. Make it happen guys make it happen.

In all seriousness, this potential signing does concern me. This 1st day signing stuff is atypical of the Pats philosophy of going after the "money guys". Something has changed in Foxboro. I think we'd all agree that the Pats were 1-2 impact d players short vs the Dolts and that pissed off BB and the Krafts like never before. There is no question that AT is a wrecking machine. However, my gut tells me BB sees the window of opportunity as another 2-3 years max and with Thomas being 29 and most likely having 2-3 solid years left as a true impact player, maybe that is the thought process in Foxboro- which is to just go for it. Seeing that we have missed the big dance 2 years in a row, I say WHY NOT? It's not my money...:-)
