You took the words out of my mouth. With Fletcher starting and Blades providing depth, we have far more pressing needs than at MLB.

FOX Sports on MSN - Jay Glazer - Sources: Cowboys land LB Thomas

Just saw where zack thomas is going to the cowturds. How can he do this? I thought free agency period has not started.

Perhaps there's a distinction between FAs whose contracts have expired and those who have been released. I believe that Thomas was released last week, so perhaps he was then free to sign with anyone immediately.

correct, teams have sole negotiating rights w/their players until 2/29 (start of free agency). If they release them, they release negotiating rights.
