Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a deal with free-agent LB Zach Thomas (Dolphins). Terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed.

This is from KFFL HOTW

Thank You Lord for answering my prayers...
If the Saints wanted a slow, old middle line backer they could have just re-signed Mark Simaneou.

The team needs a quick, young, dynamic STUD in the middle.
Zach Thomas is/was not that.

I'm not really too upset that we didn't get him. Besides, now that the 'Boys got Thomas, does that make Bobby Carpenter dispensable? I'd love to see that kid get a shot in a 4-3 defense.

I thought he wanted to play for a Superbowl contender???

This is relatively good news to me...i would have accepted his signing, there is no doubt he would have been a short term upgrade over what we had, but i am looking for a long term solution. Every offseason its the same thing with the saints...we always need a CB, LB, DT and TE...EVERY SINGLE OFFSEASON.

Lets make a trade for Vilma...lets sign Drayton Florence...lets draft McKelvin or Rivers, or Conner, or Ellis...lets inject some youth and some playmakers into this defense.

He did, and to be honest he has a better chance with the Cowboys. The Patriots cant use cameras anymore and Zach knows D, which means he knew our secondary and overall D is not as good as the Cowboys.

QFT we don't need to make our D any older. We need young fast players.
