We recently mentioned that veteran defensive tackle Hollis Thomas would make a decision this week, picking a team from the four that were interested in him -- including the Rams.
And the Rams ended up winning the contest.
According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Thomas has agreed to terms with the Rams.
It's believed to be a one-year deal.
Thomas is a 13-year veteran. After a decade in Philly, Thomas spent three seasons in New Orleans.
Hollis Thomas lands with the Rams

I'm guessing he picked St. Louis for the ribs.
Hide the BBQ, the Pork Rinds, and the Oxygen Masks.....Hollis is comin to town.....
Thank GOD!!! The Rams have needed a 330+ pounder in the middle of their D-line for YEARS! I know he can't catch passes to help our inexperienced WR corp, he can't run the ball 10 times a game or so to relieve S-Jax, and he can't stand in the pocket under pressure to complete a pass,... but its still a move in the right direction. We have to stop the run, and hopefully a defensive minded coach, a young Chris Long and James Lauriniatis, as well as a beefy DT can all combine to at least make our defense more stout at the point of attack. I don't know just a whole lot about Hollis, so maybe an Eagles or Saints fan/follower can tell me what to expect from him. He's an older player (and we let La'roi Glover retire with no effort to retain him) so I hope he has at least one good season left in him.
good luck, Fat man! we'll miss you in New Orleans.
Well you can explain bad shape, bad performance and a little bit humor.. He's the stereotypical "loveable F-up"
When you say "lands" with the Rams....Was that in a C-10 cargo plane?
It's easy to see who is the bandWagon Rams fans on this board...or should that be " Bored "...yawn...when you really got heart for MY Rams,..then you'll quit the whining and put-downs and get back to MY NFL standards...which are with the likes of Deacon, Youngblood, Warner, and Faulk !!! Go Rams Go, Smack Chick Chazzz
A St. Louis native returns home. Good luck in the twilight of your career, Hollis.
