Donald Thomas cut, any interest?

[Froob]

Did well here. With line shaky might not be the worst idea to take a look.

He had a serviceable half year here, but he hasn't played in two years.

 

[Ross12]

Worth a workout at least.

 

[JayNM]

I'd rather bring Connoly back.

I think he played less than 4 games in the last 2 seasons

 

[The Gr8est]

I thought it sounded like a great idea until I read the article detailing why they cut him.

Physically just not ready, no thanx.

 

[upstater1]

It would cost the Patriots next to nothing to bring him back. Don't see why not. He tore the same quad 2 years in a row. Those things take a longtime to heal. He played well for the Patriots. Handled his own in pass protect but was a menace in the run game.

 

[AzorianPats]

No interest for me, quad injuries for linemen are killer.

You do realize Connolly is retired, right?

 

[Froob]

Should sign him and then have him play running back against the Colts for a game.

IDK, the Colts don't exactly have a great o-line. They aren't in position to cut a guard who could actually do a decent job. If Thomas is getting cut, he is probably done. He tore the same quad twice in subsequent years.

 

[Fencer]

Bring him in for a workout, and see what makes sense after that.

Is his salary guaranteed for the season if he's on a Week 1 roster? I have no idea which vets do and don't get that privilege ...

 

[Deus Irae]

No

Came here to say pretty much this.

 

[BradyFTW!]

I liked Thomas when he was here, but I wouldn't be at all interested in relying on him to contribute. Lines rely on continuity, and if there's a surefire way not to have it it's to pencil Donald Thomas in.

 

[dales804]

No thanks. Glad he got some good money from the cry babies in IND, though.

 

[captain stone]

Probably not much of a rush to sign Thomas right now. He might be better-served getting healthy, getting in proper condition, and then applying for workouts.

 

[JayNM]

Yes. But I'd bet you he is in better shape than Donald Thomas

The problem is that the Colts gave him a hefty contract. He was costing them as a starter.

I'd bet not, dude lost a ton of weight this offseason, which is pretty common among just-retired linemen.

 

[Huckleberry1]

No thanks.
