suprising that Dallas would sign him and suprising that Thomas would want to go to a 3-4 defense...but you can never have enough old school football players like Thomas.

I would have to think that he's an upgrade because of his experience alone, and he's definitely physical. Its good they are looking to bring in hitters. If playing a physical brand of football becomes the Cowboys MO, that will be a REAL good thing.

Same here. Much rather had Thomas than Dan Morgan. Hopefully this means we'll trade for Vilma soon.

lol maybe a 6th or 7th round pick...or they might package him with Spears to Miami for a player or something like a 4th or 5th round pick.

Parcells likes him. Tuna is supposedly a fan of Spears also.

That Carpenter pick was just do do one of his "boys" a big favor. Bobbies father played for the Tuna in NY back in the day. I still believe that drafting him was just for that reason. I'll never forgive Tuna for passing of Stephen Jackson to get J Jones, some genius.

Seems like a good pickup. Hopefully it works out well!

I like the move, but don't be surprised if Akin Ayoedale is moved and carpenter stays.
