Apparently, Scott Pioli brought with him from New England a taste for aging linebackers.

According to the Kansas City Star, the Chiefs have agreed to terms with veteran linebacker Zach Thomas.

Thomas spent 12 seasons with the Dolphins, before being released by Pioli’s father-in-law, Bill Parcells, a year ago.

Last year, Thomas played for the Cowboys, appearing in all 16 games and starting 14 of them.

His final in Miami was marred by injury — primarily, concussions. He appeared in only five games that season.

The terms of the deal have not been reported. Presumably, it’s a one-year contract for the veteran minimum.

I kind of wanted the Raiders to pick him up. Oh well, looks like we'll see him acouple times this year anyway. He has a couple of bad injuries, but a nice pick up for the veteran minimum.

ITs not vet minimum..he's getting starters money at 2 mil for one year.

Break a leg, Zach...break a leg.

[Boom]

Zach Thomas isn't as intimidating like he once was. I'm guessing he'll play a lot like Junior Seau did in his declining years, very slow.

Him and Vrabel are old, slow, and on their last breaks.

Counters, sweeps..gotta make him use his legs....
