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.

I fail to see any signs of the organization and Thomas being "over each other".

Word is he's close to being cleared for training camp.

Heard that story 100 times and have yet to see it. I’ll believe it if I see him step on the field.

Well the wait is almost over.

Veterans arrive on 7/26, then it gets real.
