Reiss: Adalius Thomas released

[zoostation]

Re: AD is out!

That doesn't make sense. If AD respected BB than he would have respected Patricia and the chain of command.

That's like saying you have to respect your boss no matter what because you like his boss. AD liked and respected Bill Belichick. He hated Patricia.

Good riddance to bad rubbish...Now, lets go out and sign Big John Henderson!:rocker:

I'd rather have Big Jim Slade!

2010 Patriots Undrafted Rookie Signings

For what it is worth both Paschall and Fletcher were on Kiper's short list of "SLEEPERS".

To hear that Fletcher is the all time leader in SACKS for the Big Sky Conference, and to hear that he was the Big Sky Defensive Player of the year, intrigues me.

Me too... anyone know what the knock on him is?

I know this is out there and not going to happen, but I'd like to see the Jets grab Adalius and release Gholston, then us scoop up Gholston and give him a try. I know he's sucked so far, but perhaps a little BB coaching could get him to be a fit in our system.

Get a first round pick for vet min. haha, be worth a grin, at least.

Re: AD is out! Thomas released today.

So Shockey stopped being a cancer when he got to New Orleans, or he just respects Brees more than Eli?

I would say the former. He was a huge disruption in NY, not as far as I know in NO.

Sometimes players take stuff like this to heart. Look at Irving Fryar. Sometimes they don't.

But the Giants played A LOT better without Shockey than with him.

Thanks PWP. While yours is planned... mine definitely wasn't. Pancreatitus. Should be going home tonight if my body cooperates.

Anyways....Glad AD is gone after all the BS he's spewed. And, I owe an apology to Ray Lewis.. You warned us.

Yes. But did he go to BB and say "If you don't like what I'm doing, what do I have to do to get better?" Contrast Maroney and his extra film sessions. If you have trouble with your position coach, it doesn't mean that all of your other options are closed. (And whining in the newspapers is NOT the Patriot way.)

Not so much a knock on him as on the big sky conference. It isn't exactly the SEC.

not only that, but a chance to make a good player out of a failed Jets draft choice...a high one at that

Guyton - Might be able to play on the outside well if Spikes or McKenzie can win a job inside.

Wasn't Guyton an OLB in college that BB moved to the inside?

You can dislike someone and still respect the position and work as a team to get the job done.

My point is that as you say there was such a high-level of respect b/t/w AD and BB, AD would have kept his mouth shut and done his job.

I don't see how this is even debateable. AD undermineded everyone to cover up his own lack of performance- including BB.

 

[Kontradiction]

Not nearly productive enough for the money we were paying him and had a bad attitude in the locker room. I don't see a problem with this move.

Now watch AD bash the Pats for his forearm rehabilitation and have it turn into one of the biggest scandals of the offseason.

 

[JSn]

He had been rumoured to the Fish also, but...

Another Dolphins source just echoed previous source's sentiment re: Adalius Thomas."Too old we just let Jason go we're going to stay young."

[MoLewisrocks]

Per Michael Smith of ESPN, Miami GM has weighed in that Miami has no interest in the player (despite the Nolan connection) because he's "too old" and they just moved on from Jason Taylor. You could probably add to that they had some locker room issues of their own last season and opted to draft 7 of 8 team captains over the weekend...

Before this turns into a run away train. Let me make this clear. I disagree with all of AD's actions. Period.

I was merely stating the fact that AD has spoken highly of Bill Belichick in front of me on several occasions. I will leave it at that.


So just to clarify. I'm a die hard Patriots fan and beleive this was indeed the best move for the team.

 

[upstater1]

He cost himself money.

The Patriots would not have cut him if he wasn't a cancer.

No one is going to sign him for 5 million.

 

[Afterlifemobile-86]

Great news, Just wish we could have traded him to Detroit, St. Louis, or Oakland on draft day and got something for him. Ohhh welll...
