Zach Thomas’ agent said that the former Dolphin Pro Bowler turned down New England because he knew how the Dolphins fan would have taken it .
“Dallas was a very good fit for him because, like New England, they’re a winning team,” Drew Rosenhaus told 560-AM (WQAM) Tuesday morning. “They’re in his home state, close to his family, and he grew up as a Cowboys fan. But also being a loyal Dolphin, and he’ll always be a Dolphin, it would have been very difficult for him [to play for New England]. He did not want to alienate his fans, and really, I don’t think, he wanted to compete against the Dolphins.”

Honestly I think this is pretty silly.
1) The Dolphins released you.
2) It’s late in his career and he should do what he can to win a title.
3) NE has a better chance than Dallas, although Dallas will have a good shot at reaching the Super Bowl in a weak NFC.
If the money was the same, and not sure if it was, I’d say go to NE. Perhaps Dallas put more money on the table and Rosenhaus and Thomas just spun it this way to look even better.
