Does Zach Thomas fit our scheme?

ESPN is reporting that the Dolphins are going to cut LB Zach Thomas. He has over 1,500 career tackles and has been to the pro bowl 7 times. He's 35 and had injury problems last year, but his career is likely not over. The source that ESPN cites says that retirement is a possibility and he will only consider returning if it is on a team that has a legitimate shot at a super bowl. Do we consider signing Zach Thomas? He's a great LB, but does he fit into our system? is he worth the cost to provide depth?

nice

I was going to start my first diary about this very thing.

I think it'd be cool if Zach decided he wanted one last chance for a ring and the Colts got him for cheap, as in the league min.

Nah

He'll go to the Pats. Always seems to work that way, doesn't it?

I am more interested in Jason Taylor if he gets cut.

Zach Thomas is too small for 3-4 defense

Actually...

As much as it pains me to say this, I think Terry is right and I think this could be a mistake for the 'Boys. I could see it from the viewpoint of adding a veteran who could coach up the other LBs and contribute in certain situations, but it would probably be little more than league minimum, unless JJ signs him, in which he'll be get Top-5 pay. I would see Zach going to a team with a young defense where he fits the scheme.
