Sources: Cowboys win Thomas sweepstakes

The Zach Thomas sweepstakes are over.
The seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker, who was released by the Dolphins last week, has agreed to a deal with the Dallas Cowboys. Thomas flew to Indianapolis on Friday to meet with owner Jerry Jones and president Stephen Jones, who were there for the NFL combine.
The move is somewhat shocking in that, at one point, Thomas had considered canceling his meeting with the Cowboys after meeting earlier this week with the Patriots and Saints.
Thomas remains in Indianapolis with his new employers and could take a physical as early as Saturday.
Thomas' family members are lifelong Cowboys fans, and that may have played a part in the decision.
