I had high hopes for Thomas but I'm just not sure he's ever going to be elite. His hands aren't anything special and I never got the vibe he was 110% into football. He seems more interested in everything that comes along with the fame and fortune of the game.

Maybe he can be a solid #2 or #3 somewhere, who knows.
I was about to say that. His being released could serve as motivation for him if it is his ambition to become a better football player. While he was unable to find his nitche here, that dosen't necessarily preclude him from becoming a better performer somewhere else. His future in the NFL [should he have one] wil be interesting to keep an eye on.

Thomas never impressed me as being a guy real serious about the game. There always seemed to be other things that were more important to him.
