Agent: Zach Thomas spurned Patriots because of loyalty to Dolphins

[!Papacrunk!]

ZACH THOMAS

"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."

With salary cap etc, it's tough for a team to stay loyal to a player for their entire career, but at least a player can stay loyal to their fans. As a Dolphins fan, that was an awesome article to read. When he signed w/ Dallas, and especially after reading this article I will be a fan of the Cowboys as long as Thomas is playing for them.

This is an old story, it broke alittle while after Dallas signed him.

Too bad about Thurman.... He should have done the same thing.

He went to Miami to get back at the Bills for how they treated him.

Yeah, but in the end, he still retired as a Buffalo Bill. His stint down in Miami showed that the organization was right about him.

I take anything coming out of Rosendouche's mouth with a grain of ****.
