Tra thomas says he has “several years” left in the tank

BasX · Mar 9, 2009

The Jacksonville Jaguars officially have announced that left tackle Tra Thomas has joined the team. And despite already having an extensive NFL career, Thomas sounds like a guy who plans to stick around for a while.

“I have several years left in the tank,” Thomas said in a team-issued release. “I take good care of myself; I’m always in the weight room training. Actually I’m going to find a house to stay in so I can get here and start with the offseason program as soon as possible.”

The Jaguars, needless to day, are happy to have him.

“Tra has been a part of a lot of winning in Philadelphia, he’s been durable, he’s a three-time Pro Bowl player, and he is a solid, experienced veteran and a good presence in the locker room,” G.M. Gene Smith said. “We have talked about character being important and this is in line with that philosophy. Tra is a mature, solid person who had a good career at Florida State before he entered the NFL. He’s the right kind of guy, and we signed him to a contract that is a good, fair deal for us and for him. This is a good value and we feel a logical move for both of us.”

Jacksonville has been struggling to develop a strong presence at left tackle since the days of Tony Boselli. Though Thomas won’t be the answer for the next decade, the Jags will surely take what they can get from him.
