Man o man. When Thomas was released I remember at least 50 people saying that Patriots will go after him and not even a week goes by. Man they love old LBS don't they. They could be nicknamed Old Farts with how many old LBS they try to nab every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsTerpsFan Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The crazy thing is, they usually end up succeeding with those "old farts". Why does the Dan Synder Method work for them but not us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Didn't see it coming in the Stadium. The ATL maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Last year it was an entire new WR corps, including bad boy Randy Moss, and the highest-profile FA signing of the year in Adalius Thomas. This year, before FA even starts, it's old man Zack. Leave it to the Patriots to try to buy a championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZYHORSE19682003 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 LOL It is going to be a lot harder to win championships when you can't tape the oppositions signals and walk throughs! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyJ Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The crazy thing is, they usually end up succeeding with those "old farts". Why does the Dan Synder Method work for them but not us? Because they have Tom Brady and Snyder doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozskin Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 They may have signed the old guys, but except for one game last season, it's worked. They'll probably get alot out of Thomas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris0894 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3252668 Always looking to turn another team's castoffs into their stars, the New England Patriots offered newly released and longtime Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas a contract Monday, according to a published report. Zach Thomas 2007 Season StatsTotSoloAstFFSackInt524210010 Thomas made New England the first destination on his offseason tour of free agency stops. "We had a great visit in New England," Thomas' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told The Miami Herald in a text message Monday evening. "They offered him a contract and we will continue negotiations." Next up for Thomas, according to the newspaper, is a stop in New Orleans to visit with the Saints. On Wednesday, Thomas is expected to meet with the Cowboys. Thomas was released by the Dolphins on Feb. 14 after playing in only five games in 2007. The 34-year-old Thomas missed most of last season because of concussions and migraines and was placed on injured reserve against his wishes in December because of nagging migraines, an aftereffect of an Oct. 21 car crash. Thomas' age doesn't appear to be an issue for the Patriots. Current New England linebacker Junior Seau is 39 while Tedy Bruschi is three months other than Thomas. Both Seau and Bruschi are free agents. Thomas, a seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker and one of the most popular and productive players ever to wear a Dolphins uniform, was the 154th player chosen in the 1996 draft out of Texas Tech. Thomas led the Dolphins in tackles 10 times during his 12-year stay in South Florida and is the franchise's all-time leader in that category by a wide margin. His 168 games is the most by any Miami defensive player. Thomas was remarkably durable in his first 11 seasons, missing only 13 games, and recorded a career-best 165 tackles in 2006 -- an indication he wasn't exactly slowing down.

Hiro Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 What is it with Belichick and old players? It really seems like the Colts and the Patriots are true opposites in every sense of the word: Dungy is good, Belichick is evil. Colts team is almost always young, Patriots team is kinda old with youth spread here and there. Colts almost never bring in FAs or make trades, with exception for a couple players. Patriots use the draft, but have often utilized trades and FA. Kinda funny when you think about it. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Man, the Pats LOVE them some old ass linebackers. Completely dominant defensive line. Wilfork is such a monster...he owns the line of scrimmage on pretty much every play. ']They are looking at Marty Booker so Stallworth is probably gone. Its already been reported that they aren't picking up Stallworth's option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
