Just wondering if the Jets could sign Adalius Thomas if/when he is cut by us.

I know for the CBA, final four teams can only sign free agents equal to value they lose to free agents (if that makes sense), OR they can sign any player that passes through the waiver system.

I know A.D. is a vet of more than four years, so he wouldn't technically go through the waiver system, so I don't think the Jests could sign him, but does anyone know for sure?

…. reason I'm so interested is because we know that Rex Ryan, A.D.'s old defensive coordinator, is fat and greedy and would savor the chance to bring Thomas back to his system.

I'm not expert on the uncapped year, but I'm pretty sure the Jets could sign Adalius.  As a final four team, they're entitled to sign one high-level free agent, and can pass any player that passes through waivers, and I'm 99% sure Thomas, although an accrued veteran, counts as passing through the waiver system.

Interestingly, this may be a reason for the Patriots to hang on to Thomas, at least until they get a trade partner for Thomas.  If Thomas is released, I think he will go to the Jets under Rex Ryan.  And I don't think any Patriots fan would want to see that.  If a team is willing to take his cap hit, there's no question Thomas can be a good player, although his time with the Patriots has likely come to an end.
