He showed his value throughout last season, making impact plays on special teams for the Jaguars before breaking his left forearm during Jacksonville's Week 16 loss to Tampa Bay .
The injury forced him to miss the remainder of the season, but as a valued member of the team, the front office got a deal done with him before NFL free agency starts next week.

He's one of the better gunners in the league with his ability to get down the field in a hurry to prevent sizeable returns on punts.
Thomas is the first player who has been re-signed from Jacksonville's impending free agents as Josh Allen was franchise tagged on Tuesday.
