J.T. Thomas - LB - Bears

Bears LB J.T. Thomas was arrested in Morgantown (WV) Monday morning for misdemeanor marijuana possession.

The arrest will hurt Thomas' chances of making the Bears' 53-man roster after the team was reportedly "unpleased" with his physicality as a rookie. A sixth-round pick who spent his first season on I.R., Thomas was pulled over at 3:55 AM for driving the wrong way on a one-way street. Police discovered two baggies of marijuana in Thomas' glove compartment after a search. The misdemeanor charge accuses Thomas of possessing less than 15 grams of weed.

Bears signed No. 195 overall pick LB J.T. Thomas to a four-year, $2.133 contract.

J.T. Thomas - LB - Bears

Bears selected West Virginia LB J.T. Thomas with the No. 195 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft.

A three-year starter for the Mountaineers, Thomas has sideline-to-sideline range in an under-sized package. He projects as a backup to Lance Briggs on the weak side while also pitching in on special teams.
