Trading for Thomas would almost certainly make the Patriots a worse team considering what the team would have to do in order to find room for his $80 million dollar contract.
They don't have to pay that 80m straight away. I suspect if they did trade for him, they'd do it for a one year rental and then look to move him on in the spring. Thomas on the Pats tomorrow would make the team a better one immediately. But, one of the reasons I said upthread that they won't trade for Thomas is because I don't think they'll take on that contract. But for people to suggest that he wouldn't be much of an upgrade on the field, well I don't agree with that.
