Zach Thomas released...how long until the Pats try to sign him?

My title says it all...a decade plus veteran leader of the Dolphins is released, and now how long do you figure before the Patriots try to sign him? Secondly, would he sign with them? Would he do it to get back at the Fins, or Try to win a Bowl or to play? or would his hatred of them preclude this from happening? I suppose not since Junior Seau went the same route...who knows.

On a secondary note, happy hallmark established flower/chocolate,dinner/wine day to all of you.
and if you're without one to share it with, just think of the money you'll save!
