Adalius Thomas not seeing any takers in free agency

[NovaScotiaPatsFan]

Favre never should have been put in that position. You can do what pretty much every single Vikings fan has done, which is blame Adrian Peterson and everyone else on that team who coughed up the football. Fumbles cost them that game long before Favre made that throw.

Can you see TFB tryin to force that throw in that situation?

Me Neither.

laughing at the haters.........

who says he's even pursuing anything right now?his value will go up during training camp

AD is finished. Has been for the past two seasons.

Before he broke his arm in 2008 AD was one of the more dominant LBs in the league.

Last year he simply mailed it in--that is a fact. I don't understand why people say that he no longer has value, simply by re-watching 2009 games where he played like crap. It is more likely that the main reason he played so poorly was due to complete lack of motivation/desire as opposed to diminished physical skills.

Well, he will be 33 when the season starts. Most NFL OLBs have diminished physical skills at 33 due to the nature of the game. Few teams want a player with a complete lack of motivation/desire, particularly one at that level of compensation.

How do you know it is because of lack of motivation? Just because he wasn't happy here doesn't mean he mailed it in on gameday. He is at the age where a lot of players just lose a step.

I also disagree that he was one of the more dominant LBs in the league before he broke his arm. He had his moments like in week two of 2008 where he manhandled Brett Favre, but he was not the peak of consistency. He had 5 sacks and they were against Favre, Damon Huard/Brody Croyle, J.T. O'Sullivan, and Marc Bulger. Not exactly the cream of the NFL QB crop and many of them had horrible o-lines to boot. The Patriots' pass rush even before he went down in 2008 was uneven at best and he played a role in that problem.

The game tape doesn't lie. There is always at least one sucker out there though. Just wait.

 

[Bostonian1962]

He still may end up with the Jets. My reasoning? He was our head case last year. This offseason, and part of last season the Jets seem to be stock piling other team head cases. Just think of a powerful team of: Braylon "The Stone Hands are Not My Fault" Edwards, LaCrymian Tomlinson, Bart "The Mouth" Scott, SanTokio Holmes, Antonio "I'd Rather Impregnate Than Practice" Chromartie, Calvin "I Eat PEDs Like Candy" Pace, and then add Adalius "I Suck, but It's Everybody Else's Fault" Thomas.

They are building a team of leaders under Rex "I Have A Bigger Mouth Than Bart Scott" Ryan. I still think they want another of that type of player. Can you say IMPLODE?

 

[Blizzzard]

He should go out and get a couple of DUIs so the Bengals will pick him up.

BWAAAHHH HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!

I spit out my water on that one.

 

[AJY the Jets troll]

I thought people here said he could be deadly with the Jets?

Jason Taylor>>>Adalius Thomas

 

[zoostation]

All this means is the teams that made low offers (or I should say offers he thought were low) will wait for him to realize his worth, and then try to sign him to a 1 year incentive based deal.

 

[livinginthe past]

I don't think that Adalius necessarily 'dogged it' last year.

I just think he had little impact and was powerless to turn it around - hence the suicidal head-2-head with Belichick.

Playoff games are mana from heaven for disgruntled players looking for their next big pay-day.

On the biggest day of his season (as well as everyone else's) he didn't show-up.

I don't doubt someone will pick him up - they'll let some time go by so that they'll be holding the advantage in contract negotiations.

Hey Willie55--a spin story from Thomas' camp? That must mean Shalize whatsherface is writing another love letter, er article for the globe.

I understand the Milwaukee Iron may be that team:

I was just on eBAY looking at a few things, and saw a Thomas jersey with a opening bid of $1.99!

You mean like the AFC Championship Game against the Colts in 2006?

Does Adalius Thomas fit in with the Jets?

 

[BradyFTW!]

I bet he wishes he'd thought the "I'm going to suck for a solid year and see what happens" thing through a little more.

 

[UofApatsfan]

I still think he has the potential to be a good player with the Jets or Ravens. With all the depth Baltimore has at OLB they're unlikely to want him, so his only chance is the Jets. If they use him in blitzes instead of drop him into coverage on every play, he'll be productive on that team.

No, he won't. He's done.

It's hard to know if anybody's done if they quit.
