I still think the guys a play maker but we're not getting him. Dallas isn't that great of a team, especially their secondary however this will help. I'd much rather him be on the Cowboys then us playing Baltimore in the Sb with ET.
They voided his contract, so we can afford him.
I see that they released him but do you really think he's going to accept a low amount of cash? I think he's going to get 8-10 mil so we would still have to cut a player or trade a player or restructure a contract or two.
Based on what I'm hearing this was building, and according to NFL Network some vets on the team went to the coaches stating that they didn't want him. The fight was but the final straw. So the way I see it, he's not in a position to command top dollar. He'll have no choice but to accept a team friendly deal, especially from a SB ready team like the 49ers.
And since when is a cut or trade out of the question in the NFL? Teams are ALWAYS willing to cut, trade, and restructure contracts to make the team better. He's very familiar our DC and played a number of years with Sherman. The defense in Baltimore was far more complicated than it is in SF. I see no reason we couldn't move some furniture around to make room for Thomas, on the cheap too.
