Yep, we finally get into the FA game and sign a Special Teamer.

Actually Thomas was a starting LB for the Packers last season.

 

[Manster7588]

He's going to surprise..

I'm good with it, just glad were not breaking piggy banks in Free agency.

He started ONE game so technically you're right.



Oh wait, no you're not.

Thomas has good speed and can drop

Of course I'm right, you should know that by now.

We are not breaking piggy banks nor are we improving the team.

One game = STARTER?

I truely thought you'd know more about your GB Packers. I'm not overly surprised though

When are you gonna fess up and admit you are a closet Patriots fan?

Tell you what, go ask on the pats board if I ever rooted for them.
Think about it for a moment. If I were a Pats fan why wouldn't I sport their emblem with all their success over the last 20 years?
One thing thats true is, you aint the sharpest knife in the drawer.

He did play a lot for them about two yrs ago it seems. They had a few injuries and he filled in. He always stood out to me because of his number 48 playing LB.

He may be a great signing, I'm not buying playoff tickets from him joining the team.

Lol @ washington

We have had him before. He was on our Psquad a couple yrs back. He has had some nice moments and made some big plays for the Pack.

This was the play Cowboy fans should remember

He made 70 tackles in 7 starts the year before last. That's a heck of a lot of production. Plus, he is athletic and a THUMPER. I like it

 

[jarntt]

If he plays in the nickel and STs it probably will be a good signing for us. If we draft an every down LB early and Smith steps forward I hope Thomas' contract has minimal guaranteed money. But it's good to have the depth in that case too. I am glad to bring in a LB because it is a big weakness right now. I just don't give this team the same leeway for FA signings as I do draft picks. The track record there is just not very good. But, I'm happy to have him in the mix

I'm not saying its a bad signing, just on the surface I don't see this as a win/loss changing signing. I do think it's funny when our resident GB fan chimed in with him being a Starter in GB.

We lost Hitchens, someone needs to make up for some of those snaps. Assuming we draft a linebacker it's nice depth having another veteran on the team.

Kind of agree. Does this make us better than last year? No. Does this make us better than 2 days ago? Yes.

He could be our next Nolan Carrol and never play but he has some experience.

So, hypothetical here...let's say we add Hurns and we also pick a WR in the first round. Does that mean Dez is done here immediately?

There would be little benefit to cutting him immediately IMO because there would be really nothing to use his cap dollars on. So my guess is we would wait to see how the two new guys looked in the offseason and then make a decision after 6/1. I think the easy decision is to say yes we cut him, but what if he looks great or injury strikes somewhere, or one or both of the new guys don't look good, etc. I'd put the decision off until the Summer. This could also be related to me not loving Hurns though. If I liked him more it would be an easy post draft call I guess.
