Thomas to visit with Saints, Cowboys
NFL Network


Former Miami Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas is scheduled to visit with the New Orleans Saints before next week's NFL Combine, and then with the Dallas Cowboys after the Combine, the NFL Network's Adam Schefter reported Friday.

Thomas, a seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker and one of the most popular and productive players ever to wear a Dolphins uniform, was cut Thursday, the biggest move yet in Miami's massive rebuilding project.

Thomas missed most of last season because of concussions and migraines andwas placed on injured reserve against his wishes in December because of nagging migraines, an aftereffect of an Oct. 21 car crash.

The move is the second major salary slash this week by the Dolphins, who went 1-15 last season and subsequently brought in Bill Parcells to lead there building.

Miami trimmed about $9 million in 2008 base salary on Monday, when it parted ways with quarterback Trent Green, wide receiver Marty Booker and seven other players. Thomas was slated to make just over $5.6 million in base salary this coming season.

Thomas led the Dolphins in tackles 10 times, is the franchise's all-time leader in that category by a wide margin, and his 168 games is the most by any Miami defensive player.

Does anyone else think he will look at the Pats.
Old linebacker who used to be one of the best in the league, has never won a championship. Sounds like someone BB would go after.

I agree with you but we all know Seau is leaving and Bruschi could too. I'm just going off of history here.

Timing is off. As of right now their isnt a spot for him. I can see it, but with Seau and Bruschi still not declaring their intentions for 2009 yet, their isnt room for him right now in NE

Professor

honestly I saw he ends up in Buf or NE, for no other reason than he would get to play the dolphins twice a year
