I am going back and forth on him getting to the PS this year.
On the one hand we always overestimate how much other teams would like to sign players that can't crack the 53. And with Thomas there is an additional layer of that with how nobody offered him any bigger UDFA deals. The Pats got him for a 2,500 $ signing bonus. And with him missing most of camp and no preseason games as a showcase I am not sure that market grew larger.
On the other hand BBs UDFAs are often under a bigger microscope because of our continued success with them. But those also seem pretty rare. Apart from KGH to the Eagles who else would be an example where they gave up a solid player ? Maybe Austin Carr who got about 100 YDs over 3 years with the Saints ?
Cre'von LeBlanc is another I was sorry to see go.
As for Thomas, I may be on a limb, but I think that the Pats have a lot of good players competing for the WR position at present. If he were a tight end or fullback I'd feel differently.
