From the Penthouse to the S*#thouse.
They did DT dirty lol but that's football.
Yeah, i dont care at all the he went to the jets, cause they won't challange us for a title this year
But i do feel bad for DT....
Seriously? He's in a come back year, trying to justify one last decent contract. To do that, he needs to get on the field, put up some numbers, and be valuable to a team. The Pats have at least four receivers solidly ahead of him on the depth chart, plus two rookies they'll want to give playing time to.
What could be better than going to a team on a one year contract where you are reunited with a coach who knows how to use you and has seen the best of you, where you have a chance to play into a starting role? Why is that worse than what he faced from the Pats' bench and inactive list, week after week?
I see this as Belichick once again being a players' coach. Thomas came on good faith, then circumstances put a limit on his opportunity. The Pats responded by putting him in the best position possible to be successful, even though it is strengthening a rival.
