Thomas started the 2021 season in Houston but was cut after five weeks. The Ravens immediately scooped him up, though he only appeared in two games for Baltimore. Thomas is a versatile linebacker and a contributor on special teams. 

A Cowboys role player the past three seasons, Thomas opted for a modest contract now instead of getting left without a seat at the table later. Thomas can fill in at all three linebacker spots and offers core value on special teams. 

Capable of backing up at all three linebacker spots, Thomas mostly derives his value from special teams. Depending on injuries, he figures to play 200-250 defensive snaps in 2020.

Primarily a special-teams player to begin the year, Thomas saw more action on defense once Leighton Vander Esch (neck) started to have trouble staying on the field, at least until Thomas sat out Week 17 himself with a knee injury. An unrestricted free agent, the 28-year-old should be able to latch on with someone in a depth role again given his versatility.
