Could that have been a contributing factor to Thomas's release?

"I'm not really sure," Thomas said. "I mean, you know, if I shouldn't have been [sleeping] ... it looks bad for both sides. If I'm sleeping or him have a phone in the meeting ... I wouldn't say that's something you'd hold against a competitor.

"That's not something you'd hold against someone playing football and trying to make plays. But it doesn't even really matter now. That's in the past and they made their decision, so it's not something that matters."

Damn it Twitter!

I think they should release Malcolm Kelly and resign D. Thomas.

That was a %$+%% move by Brandon Banks taking that picture, how stupid can you be.  The team shouldn't even talk to Banks for the rest of the season and he should be hazed repeatedly.

Shanahan and Thomas supposedly had a productive exchange, and Thomas told people he left the meeting believing that Shanahan had not given up on him and he still had a chance for a career with the ********. But Shanahan released Thomas Saturday after the team's walk-through in preparation to face Green Bay.

To be sure, Thomas possesses talent. He often made plays in practice after Shanahan took control of the football operation, and several ******** players said Thomas could have helped the ******** as a wideout.

So what happened?

The demonstrative Thomas and Shanahan were simply a bad fit from the start. At times during practice, Shanahan admonished Thomas for thumping his chest after a big play or boasting to defensive backs he beat, said multiple people who observed them interact during practice throughout the offseason and preseason.

Shanahan made it clear to Thomas he is not a big fan of individual celebrations, but Thomas has been flashy since he played youth football. Thomas had a "showtime" mentality when he was a standout at Michigan State, and that approach gave him confidence and helped him become the 34th overall pick in the 2008 draft.

In addition to his on-field displays of emotion, Thomas also began modeling and acting careers on the side. Although Thomas insisted football would remain his focus, and he worked hard in the offseason and reported to training camp in outstanding shape, modeling and acting careers probably did not help him with Shanahan, the sources said.

This is from Rich Campbell's twitter :

Indy in town next week. Dagger! RT @HBalzer721: WR Devin Thomas claimed by Colts and Panthers, and ends up in Carolina.
That would have been something to face Devin right off the bat... Glad it's not happening.

This is a case of Shanny's ego being > team needs. Skins severely lack a 2nd WR. I'm not saying Thomas would have been the answer, but I would have liked to have seen him get a shot. Sure he's had his ups and downs, but if this guy turns out to be a 800-900 yard WR down the line...this is really going to come back and bite the Skins in the butt. He has shown flashes of what he can do. Someone had an agenda against the kid. I honestly wish him the best and I hope he tears %$$% up with whatever team he goes to next....he deserved better.
CO-sign.....He was coming along nicely, this was suppose to be his season, then Shannahans ego came along.
 
Good to see Torrain do well last night. Too bad Rogers and Moore didn't feel like catching those gifts from Manning. Screw you Gano...

Onto Chicago.
