Profootballtalk is reporting that the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a deal with former Miami Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas. He has spurned the offer of the Patriots and saved the Dolphins nation a ton of grief. Zach Thomas is going home.
Zach broke the hearts of millions last week when he visited the New England Patriots, the divison rivals who seem to pick up all of our ex-players. The word loyalty was thrown around on forums from coast to coast while questioning how 12 years of bitter rivalry could so easily be tossed. He left NE with a contract offer, but he never signed it.
The contract is reportedly worth up to 3 million based on signing bonuses, base, and incentives. Thomas who grew up north of Dallas in Pampa will play what is likely to be his final years in the state that it all started with.
With this contract, expected to be signed within days, Thomas goes from the bottom to the top in terms of playoff competition. Dallas is expected to once again challenge for the Super Bowl next season.
As Zach Thomas rides off into the Texas sunset no longer wearing the “aqua and orange” PhinsNation smiles and can finally wish him well. In the end, it appears that Zach Thomas showed as much class in leaving Miami and choosing his final destination, as he did in the 12 years he played for the Phins.
Thank you Zach Thomas…it will be nice to still be able to root for you!
