Now that would make sense regarding Shanny's comments about being a pro on
and off the field.
I recall Buddy Ryan years ago catching flack for releasing Cris Carter. At the time, he famously quoted that "all Carter could do was score TDs", but years later, it came out that Buddy was hiding the fact that Carter had a drinking problem. I respect Ryan for not disclosing that, which would've been a huge black mark on Carter trying to catch on elsewhere. The change of scenery worked well for Carter, and perhaps it will for Thomas, if in fact he has substance abuse issues.
