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.

Not sure why you keep harping on this. We got your point but many on here will assure you if Reiss wrote it - its as good as done!

Your team essentially let him walk. They just resigned Jarret so even if he doesn't sign with NE he is as good as gone as far as the Ravens are concerned. So why are you here challenging the report of the most respected Pats beat writer - with nothing more than your own baseless skepticism?

There's the key phrase.

So we have solid confirmation from reputable connected sources in newspapers, internet, TV and Radio.

What do we do? Go to the rumormill to question it.

You're a riot. Who writes your material?

Has Randy Moss been traded to any of the 8 teams the rumormill had himn definitely going to in the last 2 years?

Dude relax,Im just saying that every other deal done today has been confirmed except this one.Im sure he will be a Patriot I just think it is a little odd that noone else can confirm this except reporters inside Boston.

When are the Patriots ever an outgoing team when it comes to communications?

John Clayton and Adam Schefter are not Boston beat reporters.

And again, the report is not official, everyone agrees about that. Until Thomas physically signs a contract, he is not a Patriot player. We all understand this.

Jesus, this is not so complicated.

Scheffter and Clayton (I know..no need to comment) both reported on the negotiations throughout the day.

Banks from CNNSI hinted to it yesterday. You can add Curran as well, but I am not sure if he actually counts as a national guy or not. So, I would say there is more to this report than just having Boston reporters out there blowing smoke.

I'm smiling and feeling comfortable right now. When The Ink is on paper,.......

I am responding to the thread title,is that so complicated to understand???

Dont believe I was the one who brought up the question,that was a Patriots fan who did so and it got me wondering.

A quick OT question: WTF happened to Mortenson? Does he take vacation during the FA period? The guy is one of the most (if not most) reliable sources of information during the regular season and then seems to dissapear during the season where inside info is at a premium.

Just an observation.
