Report: Zach Thomas to be cut

According to ESPN, the Dolphins plan to cut longtime linebacker Zach Thomas, whose 2007 season was truncated by a concussion and migraines. One of only three players to record at least 100 tackles in each of his first 10 seasons, Thomas is a seven-time Pro Bowler with a number of friends on the Patriots. He’s contemplating retirement, though according to the ESPN story, he’d consider playing for a team with a chance of winning it all.

Considering the need the Patriots are going to have for linebacker depth, Thomas could be an intriguing option. He turns 35 in September.
