You know that the media claiming something is not the team claiming something, right? Here are the only statements I’ve seen from the team: I will say it again . Was he arrested or did he beat his girlfriend? Did he get suspended for hard Drugs or PEDs? Did he violate any of the leagues rules on conduct described in the CBA. Because I do not see the valid reason to void his contract. Do you? IDK, I haven't read his contract. Have you?

Because I do not see the valid reason to void his contract. Do you? I don't know one way or the other what all of the facts are that led to his release. It is my strong opinion that he was released for more than just one practice fight. Does sound like there has been more going on here than what has been reported. Players are fairly forgiving with stuff like this that would effect another player's earnings. So for the other players to ask for him to be let go, I figure a lot has been going on in the locker room regarding Thomas and his relationship with his teammates.

That pertains to legal issues (arrest...... ) No agent would allow anything beyond that. With that said Backer is still a Giant.

This might be a reoccurring problem with him in the locker room and the team wrote in a specific clause to protect them if teammate issues caused a problem. IDK and neither do you. If it is a standard clause you are correct there is not enough there to void the bonus based on NFL history in these matters. At least I don't think so. Though I have always been a proponent of contracts being binding for both parties. So the entire NFL contract structure rubs me the wrong way.

Pretty quiet around Cowboy camp about Thomas. I'm sure Jerrah is trying to get him on the team but McCarthy is acting pretty cool toward ET citing team chemistry.

It would be fitting for the Cowboys to pick up someone else's problem asset as it matches with Jerruh's history of mediocre GM decisions. Jerruh has demonstrated over a long period of time that team chemistry and integrity are not as important as talent or headlines.
Their record certainly speaks volumes about that approach.
