It's easy, and only takes a few moments.He had the chance to step up when tasked with wr1-2 duty, but failed to do so. He is a wr3/4. This data set confirms it and it is why he was let go. You likely got a dislike because while playing 7 more games in 2018 than in 2017 he only gained 100 more yards, that is “significant” in terms of productivity, not “roughly”, especially given that he was asked to be the primary wr.
I think if he is healthy Thomas will challenge Gordon for production.Edelman and Gordon are our top 2 WR's.
Why is unreasonable to want Thomas as our #3/#4?
He might share reps with another #3/#4. That would be fine, wouldn't it?

We could, but then why cut him in the first place one week before the first game?Couldnt we just sign him back over the next day or two?
Edit * This is a rhetorical question
I guess you have not been reading anything that has been posted about it in this forum....nor understand how to protect players.We could, but then why cut him in the first place one week before the first game?
Who is we're?I don't think anyone is sad that we cut DT with the intention of re-signing him.
We're sad that you personally attack other posters' fandom and intelligence on a regular basis.
This would make me feel better if Zolak wasn't a complete hack.

To be fair to Bruins29, this was discussed in depth in this thread before hand, and in multiple other threads. Doesn't give him the right to be mean or anything, but posters should bare a little responsibility to read the thread when posting.I don't think anyone is sad that we cut DT with the intention of re-signing him.

So, the Pats now have a few days to evaluate an extra player or two for free. They can see if they are really worth keeping, or they can evaluate if this player needs to go to IR. Its just basically taking advantage of the rules. I am sure they told DT what they are doing and I am sure DT A. Respects BB and B. Wants his team to be the best team possible.
It’s a real concern. It makes me sad to see he & his sunglasses during the early show.Zo is also sh##-faced most Sundays by 6:10 pm, let alone 9:10 pm
I read that both sides were interested in a reunion. I also forgot to mention that DTs contract (as other posters have noted) was pretty crappy. So they may want to re-evaluate that too - granted they did not need to release him to do it.This is a reasonable, indeed highly likely scenario. But an awful lot of people are presenting it as an obvious fact when it's really just conjecture based on fans' impressions of his game four performance.
Unless and until Thomas signs a new contract with the Patriots, the reality is that they cut him, period. Another WR-needy team is free to make him an offer he can't refuse. Surely wouldn't have cut him if they weren't prepared to live with that outcome?

Also, I think there is plenty of security in cutting him because him and BB "could" have had a discussion on how this will play out before they cut him. Also, more importantly, they dont really need DT. Nice to have, sure! But if Harry is back, they would be fine with what they have.
Do you think he has 4.38 speed (measured when he was 23 years old) now that he is 31 years old and has had 2 torn Achilles injuries since then?If Thomas still has his 4.38 speed he can offer another dimension that Harry can’t give us.
