Trade him to the Giants for Osi Umenyiora in a swap of malcontents. The contracts would essentially cancel out. Both guys have underperformed but are talented, and could benefit from a change of scene. The Pats need pass rushers more than the Giants, and the Giants desperately need LBs. Thomas is much more talented than anyone the Giants have at LB, and could do well playing behind their killer DL. Each team would get rid of an underperforming problem player and fill a need.
Voted for No after the storm and no now. Regardless of his actions, I just don't think he fits our defense. Would love to trade him, but have a feeling we just release him.
no and no because.
He's old, it was questionable signing him in the first place.
He's not a leader from the old team, or a leader at all, apparently.
He hasn't played that well.
We don't know if his attitude is a good one going forward.

Having said that, I have no problem if BB thinks he helps.
Our other OLBs are one dimensional, or learning the position.
BB will do what's best for the organization and won't be rushed if he can get some value out of, or for, him.
He was 29 when he signed the deal. He came off an All-Pro season. BB has a long track record of getting good production out of OLBs in their early 30s. There was nothing questionable about it. Everyone loved the move. Everyone. Including BB. Since he broke his arm, no question that he been a disappointment.
Mostly true.However in the past his teammates did vote him as a defensive captain (which needs to be approved by position coaches and BB) to start the season so they did think he was a leader. Clearly something changed with him as time wore on.
I would argue that he played up to his capabilities before he broke his arm.
Couldn't agree more...

I checked and I did question AD's acquisition it at the time, though I remained optimistic. Not like I don't admit I'm wrong. I said TBC was a scum sucking rodent who would never be anything but a fill in at best. I've been doing the Wayne's World "I am not worthy" on that one for a while, and very happy to.
