BOSTON (AP) -The New England Patriots have released linebacker Adalius Thomas, who signed as a high-profile free agent in 2007, but fell into disfavor with coach Bill Belichick last season.
Thomas’ release was confirmed Monday by a person familiar with the decision. The person requested anonymity because the release had not been formally announced by the team.
The 32-year-old Thomas signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Patriots after seven seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, including two Pro Bowl appearances. Thomas was a healthy scratch for the Patriots in two games in 2009, and was also one of four players sent home by Belichick after arriving late for practice during a snowstorm in December.
He had 14 1/2 sacks in his three seasons in New England.
