February 14, 200818 yr www.foxsports.com reports zach thomas just got released. He said he isnt going to retire so we'll see where he ends up. I bet he'll end up on the patriots....
February 14, 200818 yr Damn. It's gonna be weird not seeing #54 out there this year. He should probably retire, though. P.S. I hate Valentine's Day even more now.
February 14, 200818 yr aaahhh wtf!!!?? It was probably because of his salary, because he can still play at a high level.
February 14, 200818 yr sad day in dolphins land...hurts even more when a jets fan is the one to inform you...
February 14, 200818 yr aaahhh wtf!!!?? It was probably because of his salary, because he can still play at a high level. Based on what? The 4 games he was able to play in last season? I love Zach, but it is time for him to get out now while he still has his health.
February 14, 200818 yr www.foxsports.com reports zach thomas just got released. He said he isnt going to retire so we'll see where he ends up. I bet he'll end up on the patriots.... Maybe we can resign him at a lower rate? Either way, he is not part of the future. We are 2-3 years away from contending which he won't be around for either way. Makes you think they might even trade Jason Taylor while his value is still high.
February 14, 200818 yr He deserves better than simply being cut. Stupid move by the Dolphins. It's sad to see his Dolphins career end like this, but it is not a stupid move. The guy is 34, has a major concussion problem, and would have counted $5+ million toward the salary cap. I'd rather have seen him retire, but what can the Fins do? They couldn't have traded him. They have to move on. Keeping his salary on the cap next year would have been the stupid move.
February 14, 200818 yr Probably my favorite Dolphin ever outside of Dan Marino. Amazing player, in on every play, more hard-nosed than you'll ever see. I hope him the best...

Im not saying its a bad move, because in the direction we're going its prolly the *right* move, however, there's no way you can say bad things about Zach's level of play. He is STILL one of the top 5 linebackers out there, even at 34...

I'm just saying the Dolphins shouldn't disrespect Zach Thomas like this after all he's done for the franchise.
February 15, 200818 yr Ugh. Hate to see him go. He's one of my favorite players ever in any sport, but he deserves better than 1-15. He's probably going to end up in Dallas.
February 15, 200818 yr Man, sucks to see him go, but I feel the Fins made the right move. He needs to retire, for his own sake.
February 19, 200818 yr Patriots offer Zach Thomas Contract... No shock there....they seem to love to pick up our old players...
February 19, 200818 yr God I hope he dosen't go to the Patriots. Hopefully he'll go to the Giants, Chargers.. Hell, I wouldn't even mind if he went to the Colts. All three of those teams have just as good a chance to win the Super Bowl next year as the Patriots. Certain things should never happen and one of those things is Zach Thomas playing for the Patriots.
February 19, 200818 yr Patriots offer Zach Thomas Contract... No shock there....they seem to love to pick up our old players... why wouldn't they? it keeps a good player from playing against them 2x a yearc :confused
February 23, 200818 yr He's probably going to end up in Dallas. Good call, me. Good call. From FOX Sports: The Zach Thomas sweepstakes are over. The seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker, who was released by the Dolphins last week, has agreed to a deal with the Dallas Cowboys. Thomas flew to Indianapolis on Friday to meet with owner Jerry Jones and president Stephen Jones, who were there for the NFL combine. The move is somewhat shocking in that, at one point, Thomas had considered canceling his meeting with the Cowboys after meeting earlier this week with the Patriots and Saints. Thomas remains in Indianapolis with his new employers and could take a physical as early as Saturday. Thomas' family members are lifelong Cowboys fans, and that may have played a part in the decision.
