Alaskan Grizzly Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Why not?? The Bears need someone to take over for Briggs. The only problem being that he would have to change his number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyyle23 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Thomas would probably be a great option, but that guy has had some concussion problems the last couple years. It would not do the Bears any good to sign Thomas to replace Briggs and watch him take a hit in the first game and sit the rest of the year like Dan Morgan. A guy with concussion problems who is in his later years as a player is someone you want to avoid, despite his career(see: Trent Green) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 It would depend on the money. If he would take a cheaper deal like Seau so the other holes could be addressed, I would not mind it. The concussions are a concern, but the car accident did not help his situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I hear ya. I wouldn't be surprised if he just retires. I'd like to look at Dhani Jones if possible. I think he'll be free and wouldn't be a bad roatation guy if we can get him on the cheap. Thomas would probably be a great option, but that guy has had some concussion problems the last couple years.

fenom283 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 He might end up with the Patriots they are looking for some Inside linebacker help and they love those veteran LB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongo3451 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'd rather go with our young prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I don't see Thomas fitting in well as our WLB. He doesn't have enough speed for one and two he's played his entire career inside between the tackles. I can see him fitting in the middle for someone else but I'm not even sure about him in a 3-4 Defense like New England. AT 5-11 and 228 how's he going to hold up inside? I can't see him standing up on the outside as a pass rusher either. Who knows, New England does love smart players and he fits that mold well and most importantly he's just a good football player.
