Isn't Thomas a senior citizen?

According to the article Thomas isn't quite a gray beard yet, he's 31, D'Brick is 32. I'd be willing to bet quite a bit the Jets aren't giving up 24 YO Sheldon Richardson for Thomas. Or a 1st round draft pick.
The question came from a fan, Cimini shot it down.
The article did bring up a very interesting point though. Thomas, who is very unhappy, has 3 years left on his contract at 19.7 million. D'Brick has 2 years at 23.3. Thomas is still playing at a high level. The Jets for sure will approach Brick to take a pay cut. If I'm Macc I hold up Thomas' contract as the top I'd pay. 6.5+- million a year. If Brick balks at it, I'm making some phone calls.
From what I've seen from Macc in the Marshall, and Fitz deals he's not giving up the farm for an older productive player, but he is willing to sweeten the deal with the players agent, as they did with Marshall, to make the player want to push for the deal.
If Brick becomes a problem, I would become a player for Thomas, but I'm not giving up Richardson, a #1, or #2. If nothing else use Thomas as a bargaining chip against Brick. I don't think his open market value is more then 6.5 Saves the Jets 7.5 against the cap.
If this isn't really a rumor yet, maybe we can make it one. :global (47):
