Zach Thomas released by Dolphins!

I'd take him over Simenoux at MLB any day of the week! Even at age 35.

Sign him. Please!

I was a Dolphin season ticket holder from 2000-2004 (The Ricky Williams/Dave BUMstedt Experience!!) and I have to say that Zach Thomas WAS that team!! His motor never stopped, from whistle to whistle, 4 quarters. 150+ tackles a year. He was a Huge fan favorite and had great post-game interviews. This would be an excellent signing for the Black and Gold.

He's better than all of our LB's.

Has he been cleared to play?

I'd consider taking him at a bargain price. However, if he's expecting anything like the $5.6 million that he was scheduled to make in Miami next year before being cut, I'd seriously have to consider passing.

We should be on this like stink on a junebug!

Like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paperplate in a snow storm.

Not the youngest guy in the world, but ill take an upgrade on the D anywhere we can get it

rjakapeanut · 02-14-2008, 03:03 PM

yeah lol..perfect. sign him to a 3 year contract. ez.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up here. We've always had a tendancy to sign guys towards the tail end of their careers. However, he is better than what we currently have at MLB... wouldn't hurt to bring him in for a visit as long as he's not looking for a lot of money. I'd would also attempt to sign Dan Morgan for the vets minimum... it couldn't hurt either.

Thomas and Morgan would be great! I still hope we go after Shaun Rogers. Those three would give us a lot of flexibility in the draft.

... Thomas and Morgan would be in the IR by the first week of October.

Morgan has played in a grand total of 4 games the past 2 seasons, and he has never finished a season in the NFL. Chris Chandler was more durable.
Sack Thomas is 35 and has concussion issues.

I know is the offseason, but come on, guys.
