I like it. He is injury prone, and we should be getting younger at ILB, but I like Thomas, and would like to see him in a Pats Uniform. Bruschi/Seau/Thomas

There was also this tidbit:

People near CB Ty Law say he would be open to playing for New England again if he's released by Kansas City.

can zach really play in the 3-4?

while i would love to stick it the dolphins (whose fans are all terrible people), im not so sure he can make the transition.

the moment that jason taylor gets set free though, i hope we pounce.

Zach would probably fill in the middle during their 3-3-5 looks. Although, from what I gather, having him and Seau is a bit of a redundancy.

And dear lord no to Ty Law. He's not even league average anymore.

i don't know. i may still prefer him to that crap job we saw from asante at the end of the year. at least i know that hobbs had a sports hernia since december 1 ( at least a reasonable explanation of why he was pretty good before that point, and abhorent after that point). i have no excuse for asante, or wilson, or gay....

i guess on that front, he would add depth.

i guess im ok with this move, as long we add some serious starting quality talent as well.

we have to get and OLB and move Adalius back inside. any hope from the draft?

Law would make for an OK #3 or #4 DB but, egad, he was atrocious this past season.

Per wiretap.... we offered him a contract...but he is still weighing his options...

Signed with the cowboys. Oh well, here's hoping we get his brother in-law next year instead.

with the rivalry b.w the two teams, and with zach passing the opp to sign with the pats, you'd think taylor would do the same.
