Zach Thomas to sign with COWBOYS?

[Dr. D]

Head Injury?????? Must still be suffering from it if he signed with the Cowboys! People try and put the cowboys in a league of their own, but still they couldn't win the big game

Don't be hatin'.

Zach is much like Dat was for the Cowboys. Hell of a player, just small for a lienbacker. Lots of miles and rough roads. Zack signed a one year deal with Dallas.


and I don't like that video.

Dr. Death..... I don't really want to come off as a hater It's just that ever since the cowboys won all their championships in the 90's, I had a couple of buddies that have jumped on and off the bandwagon. For the past couple of years at the hint of spring training I get "this is the cowboys year"! But I always get the last laugh. FYI I love the game so much I made it my job, but it is something about NFL football that makes my stomach turn! I'll let you know what that something is if you want?

Doesnt every team think this is there year at the start of mini camps? if not why even be there

[coach2]

I understand that! It would be different if they played for the Cowboys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Bobby Carpenter was going to pan-out but....If Zach stays healthy then I see it as a good addition to the team.

Can't hurt. I'm sure he isn't coming in as a starter.. prolly just another veteran body to keep a fresh rotation on the defense. He's a hall of famer for sure, so if his head don't break, he'll be a solid player and help the defense.

[RobinHood]

I think he' a great addition to the team. 7 time pro bowler- he'll prolly be 1 of their starters. Yea, he had a head injury, but he's OK now. Hopefully he'll be one of their defensive motivational leaders. GO BOYS!

he is a great addition one tough dude

This recent handout from the N…

AP - Feb 23, 5:58 pm EST
NFL Gallery Linebacker Zach Thomas is headed home to Texas to play for the Dallas Cowboys in the state where he was a high school and college standout before 12 seasons with the Miami Dolphins.

Thomas has reached an agreement on a one-year, $3 million deal with the Cowboys, agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed Saturday night. Thomas, a seven-time Pro Bowler who missed much of last season because of concussions and migraines, has already taken a physical for the Cowboys.

“It is going to be signed in the next couple of days,” Rosenhaus said.

The deal includes a $1 million base salary, a $1 million signing bonus and a $1 million incentive-based bonus based on playing time that Rosenhaus said should be easily attained.

Thomas was released Feb. 14 by the Dolphins, part of the massive rebuilding project being overseen in Miami by new vice president of football operations Bill Parcells, the former Cowboys coach. The Dolphins were 1-15 last season.

The 34-year-old linebacker said after his release from the Dolphins that he planned to play with another team next season, more than likely one that can contend for a Super Bowl title—and give Thomas a chance at winning his first championship.

“I am healthy and look forward to playing in 2008, but will always consider myself a Miami Dolphin,” Thomas said then.

Thomas also visited with the New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints. All three teams offered similar deals, but Thomas wanted to play in Texas.

“It was a huge factor, a gigantic factor,” Rosenhaus said. “At the end, it was the difference. It’s a great opportunity for him.”

Thomas is a native of Pampa, Texas, and then went to Texas Tech. The Dolphins selected Thomas 154th overall out of Tech in 1996. The 5-foot-11 linebacker then led Miami in tackles 10 times and is the team’s career leader in that category with 1,642. His 168 games in Miami are the most by a defensive player.

After missing only 13 games in his first 11 years, and having a career-best 165 tackles in 2006, Thomas missed 11 games last season. He still had 52 tackles in the five games he played.

Thomas missed two games in September because of a concussion. Then after Miami’s loss to New England on Oct. 21, his vehicle was rear-ended on Florida’s Turnpike. He didn’t play again and was placed on injured reserve against his wishes in December because of nagging migraines, an aftereffect of the car crash.

Just when you think your right the NFL can turn on your beliefs in a second and prove you wrong! I don't pretend to know the outcome of a year in the NFL or who will or will not win the big game this year. I'll bet you thought the Patriots were gonna win though! lol lol
Dallas will win another Super Bowl one day and when?
Zach probably made pretty good money for the one year contract so I doubt his head injury had any thing to do with that.I wish they would have picked up another wide receiver to give a double threat to the defenses to worry about.I think Chad Johnson was available and several others but I guess Dallas fans will have to settle for Zach for now!
