I haven't seen anything official on Thomas - Page 3 - New England Patriots Forums

Maybe Ozzie will trade next years #2 to get the scoop from the Pats.

Oh give me a break guys, ADALIUS IS COMING TO NEW ENGLAND.

Guys, I have been clicking on this site once every ten minutes all day waiting for the official news, but I have still yet to see anthing.

Please let me know why everyone is suddenly sure this deal is done?

I've never seen these guys post speculation, (as a done deal).

JT the Brick also.

It's as much of a done deal as it could be at midnight on a Friday.

They have an agreement and need to work out the legal language and take a physical.

Everybody but God has chimed in on this one.

I dont blame the starter of this thread. This is such a great move that I cant still believe it. And because of that will be biting my nails until he signs it. Nothing is official until he signs. What if a team contacts his agent and offers much more then what? Is he obliged to come here...

I know it's my nerves..this is unbelievable

I am starting to wonder,every other signing today has been confirmed within the hour after it leaked out via rumor.I hope for a lot of peoples sake these two reporters didnt get ahead of themselves.

I don't imagine it's a feel good story out there. Do you have radio, TV and the interenet in Baltimore?

THOMAS DEAL COMING?

John Tomase of the Boston Herald reports that the Patriots have struck a "preliminary deal" with free-agent linebacker Adalius Thomas.

But we sense a certain uneasy quality about the report, and it lacks the same unequivocal feel that most reports of player signings posses. If that makes any sense.

We're not saying it won't happen. But, for now, we're not completely convinced that it will.

Exactly.

His agent's phone will be ringing for at least 2 more hours tonight and about 5 hours tomorrow.

Some team could be sooo desperate and offer up a salary averaging 9 mil per season.

It is not a DONE DEAL until the contract is signed. Maybe Thomas gets mugged tomorrow morning and decides he hates Boston..maybe his wife doesn't like the weather tomorrow...so many things can happen...

The.contract.is.not.signed.yet.

They have an agreement. He wants to play here and we are motivated to get it done.

Relax. As Meion proved, even a contract doesn't guarantee anything.

If it contains "According to sources", it's not official.

What don't you understand about it? He hasn't signed yet and won't until he has a physical. Then it isn't official until the league approves the contract next Monday.

He and the patriots agreed to terms. That's as good as you are going to get tonight.
