I think he gets a few. If he is still on the team I can see him on IR until the last quarter of the season and playoffs. Both the organization and Thomas may be over each other but it’s in the best interest of both parties for him to play enough to show he’s still got it.
Thomas got paid, he wants to be a guy who can chase a ring by signing short term contracts with teams that are most likely to go to a Super Bowl. I think this is the future of the NFL and frankly it’s kind of sad. Play lights out on your rookie contract, hold out for insane money, pout until you force a trade. Wash, rinse, repeat.
