Maybe between Sanz or Thomas, which ever one looks better in training camp?Sorry, the formatting keeps screwing up on me.
    I don't think you sign FAs to cut them in camp. Gotta believe Sanz is on the bubble if we draft one unless Lovie gives the rook his traditional "redshirt year" treatment. This definitely pushes WR to 3rd round at the earliest IMO.

    Where do you think Brandon Mosley will go in the draft? He's received some good reviews as a nasty developable (is that a word?) OT and we need a backup OMG replacement.

    I think Emery mentioned something indirectly about doing away with redshirt rookies. So, not looking good for Sanz. Unless Thomas' deal is cheap enough that he is easily cuttable, which it very well could be.

    I am very excited about this signing. Thomas is very under-rated. He is much better then Roy"butterfinger"Williams. Haha. Our ST is going to be better. Costonzo,Thomas are better than Graham.

    Or, if Okoye leaves, are we looking at some combo of DE + DT + CB in the first 3?
    Devin Thomas has 0 impact on the draft and will play 0 snaps on offense. He is a pathetic bust as a WR and more than likely will not make it out of camp.

    To me this is a who cares move.

    Call me when we sign someone who plays offense or defense.

    Devin Thomas - the male model. If there's another Zoolander movie, THIS GUY should be in it.

    Here's a guy who doesn't appear all that concerned about being a great football player.

    Yes, perhaps this is a Max Komar(ish) type of move or something to placate Toub?

    3 WRs that are only ST players? I doubt it

    Hester will get a role as #3 WR next year. I hope they keep Sanz

    Going to stay optimistic on this one, I know he hasn't done diddly in his career but I look back at when Cutler made Eddie Royal a household name. Sometimes it just takes the right pairing of WR with QB. Thomas has the size and ran 4.34 and 4.32 at the combine so I'm just going to hope to be pleasantly surprised by this guy.
