ESPN: Devin Thomas not secure until he's playing the 'Deadskins"

You know, I still can't figure out why DT said what he said. Was he just trying to be funny? I don't know. Because I've heard him say many times over the past year (both on and off record) that he's grateful to Shanahan for giving him the reality check he needed that pure talent wasn't going to get you far in the NFL if you don't put the work in as well.

I think that's a kind of joke that falls flat when someone has paid you a fortune to not produce. In football, you don't shoot off your mouth. PERIOD. If Mr. Thomas finds himself unemployed, will the redskins call, now? Even if we need help?

You just don't badmouth a former employer.....it's too small of a world for it to not come back and bite you.
