I imagine he respects Thomas and while he made the decision he needed to he was disappointed that he has to. Ive heard him comment on how he hates having to cut players many times.We've made a lot of hay out of being a place where aging vets want to come get a ring at the expense of maximizing earnings and snaps.
It's easy to just look at their paychecks and say 'tough titties' but for a lot of these veteran guys who come here it's obviously not about the money so I can appreciate not being happy to be traded to cokehead Gase's team.
Belichick actually answering this question is possibly an indicator that he is sensitive to how he is perceived by vets around the league because either he truly respects them, wants to be seen as a twilight destination for a vet with something left to prove, or both.
