SoFlaJets Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 March, 16, 2010 Mar 16 8:06AM By Tim Graham New England Patriots outside linebacker Adalius Thomas is disavowing himself from any claims he has expressed his desire to be a New York Jet. Thomas, in an e-mail to Boston Herald reporter Karen Guregian on Monday night, denied comments Jets inside linebacker Bart Scott made two weeks ago on ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike." Scott was a teammate of Thomas' with the Baltimore Ravens. They played under defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, now the Jets' head coach. "It's funny," Scott said. "I was hanging with Adalius Thomas for Super Bowl weekend. We're buddies from back in the day. He made it public that he's expressed in interest in joining Rex. I think some of his better years of his career have been a part of the Ravens' defense and under Rex Ryan's tutelage. It'll be exciting." Thomas had a falling out with Patriots coach Bill Belichick last season. Many are shocked Thomas hasn't been cut by now. As you read Thomas' e-mail to Guregian, you can almost hear the screeching brakes. "I've heard of all the chatter up there about me," Thomas wrote in the e-mail. "It was about something Bart Scott said on TV, [and] that's not what was said. ... I have never told anyone that I wanted to leave and go play for the Jets. "I have been asked by coaches, reporters, players, 'where are [you] going to play next year?' And my response has been I don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Thomas has to say that because he's still on the Pats. Scott should have known better than to say what he said because Thomas would have to deny it so long as he remained on the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 and the whole thing about this is it doesn't change one thing...it doesn't NOT make NE cut him sooner-they're not idiots they know the Jets would be the logical landing spot when and if they do cut him-if we here on the boards can figure it out...

Garb Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'm sure Bart Scott is being truthful here Here's some truth for you: Thomas is being shopped. If there are no takers, he will be released. Since BB hates both the Jets and Thomas - my guess is that he will try his hardest so that the two do not marry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klecko73isGod Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Don't expect the Pats to cut AD until the last possible minute. They'd rather see the Jets use their first pick on a pass rusher than give the Jets more flexibility in the draft. Thomas won't be a Pat in 2010, but he ain't getting cut before the draft either.

SoFlaJets Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Wright was out of football in 2009 after failing to make the Dolphins' roster. At 6'5/300, Wright has enough size to play defensive end in the Jets' 3-4, but the once highly regarded Texas Longhorn has never met expectations. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=3766 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotReign37 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 someone said he'll trade him to Oakland for a 2006 5th rounder Oakland makes the most sense for a number of reasons. 1. Al likes doing deals with BB. There have been 4 thus far: Seymour, Burgess, Moss, Gabriel. 2. The Raiders wont pull a counter trade with the Jets unless Davis is stripped of ownership. 3. Thomas would be shipped to football hell on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was angry for being called out publicly for being late for a meeting despite being stuck in traffic because of an accident during a snowstorm which is perfectly understandable.

Previous seasons, Harrison and Bruschi kept his big yap shut when he thought that he knew more than the coaching staff and beeched and whined about the scheme. BTW, take that green jock strap off your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharrow Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I guess he'd be ok for depth. I thought it was a good idea at the time, but I'm glad we didn't sign him back when he was a FA. He's not worth that kind of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
