Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports the Miami Dolphins have informed LB Zach Thomas that they will release him Thursday,

Id love to have Taylor move across the state, but Bill Parcells and the staff he's assembled know he is too important to let go of. The man is getting older and he still plays like he is in his prime.  

Thomas would be a good back up but im not sure he fits in the system. Then again Trotter didnt really fit and we signed him, so who knows. Always good tohave good vets in the locker room for vet minimum and insurance, if nothing else.

Heres some more speculation from PFT:
FINS WHACK ZACH

In the clearest sign yet that these aren't your father's Dolphins, the team will release linebacker Zach Thomas, according to Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com.

The 12-year veteran appeared in only five games last season, due in large part to a couple of concussions, one of which was sustained in an automobile accident.

Glazer reports that Thomas plans to keep playing.  Our first guess?  He'll land in New England, where he'd actually reduce the average age of their starting linebackers.

Thomas was signed through 2008, at a base salary of $5.65 million.

Wow, Zach Thomas was the face of their franchise. :o  That would be like the Bucs releasing Brooks.  Dolphins fans must be so mad right now.  This will be a PR nightmare for the Dolphins.  I wonder if he is going to retire.  He was hurt most of the season.

Gotta let em go sometime. They need a youth movement in Miami, they need to start fresh. Don't be suprised if Parcells trades out of the first pick to stock pile some picks for his team. He could drop down to about 8-10 pick up a couple picks and even a player of value to him and still have his first round choice.

I wonder what the sentiment in Miami is. The Tampa media would skewer the Bucs for a similar move.

i broke the news to 3 of my boys that are Dolphins fans. All 3 were very angry that their franchise guy is being released. They said he's earned the right to stay on that team till he retires.

2 of em said if they do the same to Taylor that they'll never root for the Dolphins again.

I get the feeling they're a little unhappy with the Dolphins as of lately.

John Galt?
