The New England Patriots cut wide receiver Jeff Thomas on Saturday, and he may have to wait a bit for his shot in the NFL. Thomas will not be joining the Patriots practice squad in the early wave of transactions, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe.
Thomas recorded 1,316 yards and eight touchdowns in three years at Miami. Measuring in at five-foot-nine, 175 pounds, Thomas was known as a speed receiver who could make things happen after the catch. He proved to be a solid option for Miami, and recorded 563 yards and three touchdowns in 2018. He averaged 15.9 yards per catch during his career in Coral Gables.
It doesn't sound like Jeff Thomas will be joining the Patriots practice squad at the moment, at least not among the early wave of transactions.

Thomas could be fortunate enough to find a home in the National Football League. He has the skill set to be successful, though it appears as time has run out in New England.
