INDIANAPOLIS -- Free-agent linebacker Zach Thomas is in town and the Cowboys are expected to meet with him and his agent Drew Rosenhaus, probably today at some point....

??? I thought FA's couldn't talk to teams & vice-versa before the start of FA?

Does Drew Rosenhaus represent everybody?
;D

Thomas visited and was offered contracts by New Orleans and New England. It is believed the Saints will be able to guarantee Thomas more money and a starting job.

Sounds like the Pats probably didn't make a good offer.
Could that be related to Zacks headaches or the fact that the Pats are having money issues.

It would have to be an Obama rally. Too few people will be at the Clinton one & the risk of easily being spotted there would increase 10 fold.

If a player is outright released they can be signed immediately, ala Mike Wahle. Players whose contracts are coming to an end and not being released cannot be signed before Feb. 29th.

As a Cowboys fan...this confuses the hell out of me.

Just glad he's not going to NE...they're stacked enough..they have good linebackers anyway, i guess bruschi is getting old but thomas is old to so it doesn't explain that...
