In an effort to get a bit older at linebacker, the New England Patriots offered a contract to former Miami linebacker Zach Thomas yesterday. Thomas, who has 1,639 career tackles, will turn 35 years old during the upcoming season. The guy is a tackling machine and a future hall-of-famer, but he's never scored a touchdown, and perhaps would be attracted by Belichick's now obvious trick offensive plays that allow guys like Mike Vrabel to catch short TD passes. Either way, Thomas would be joining Tedy Bruschi (34 years old) and Junior Seau (39 years old) to make up the Thin Grey Line of defense. Perhaps they could also coax Andre Tippett out of retirement.
