NFL | Teams not rushing to sign LB Thomas Fri Apr 30, 02:06 PM
Jon Scott, from Scout.com, reports Adalius Thomas didn't work out in New England, but he could find a home elsewhere in the AFC East. The talented free agent is being pursued by two AFC East clubs. Unlike his foray into free agency three seasons ago, teams aren't exactly beating down the door to get to him.
| Footballguys view: Many believe that Thomas will be eventually reunited with Rex Ryan, but nothing has come to fruition between the veteran and the Jets. The Miami Dolphins are also a team that has shown interest in Thomas. It looks as though Thomas will have to wait a little bit longer before he finds a new home for 2010. |
