Zach Thomas Retires As A Dolphin

  Wedesday, Zach Thomas sign a one-day contract with the Miami Dolphins and retire as part of the franchise. So on Thursday, Thomas signed a one-day contract, officially worth $1 -- but in return he was able to give a proper farewell as a Dolphin. Only a fifth-round draft pick out of Texas Tech in 1996, Thomas became a star during 12 seasons with the Dolphins. He will definitely be remembered along with the likes of Dan Marino and Jason Taylor, who became Thomas' brother-in-law. Thomas had 1,038 tackles, 19½ sacks and 17 interceptions in 168 games for the Dolphins, and he was chosen for seven Pro Bowls. He spent the 2008 season with the Dallas Cowboys, then was in camp last year with Kansas City, which released Thomas before the season after unspecified injury issues. He didn't play again. Thomas really seems to be excited retiring as a Dolphin and he will not have it any other way. I must say it will be hard to replace the shoes of Zach Thomas
