Linebacker Zach Thomas signed a one-day contract so that he could retire with the Miami Dolphins.
The contract was worth just $1 dollar, but it meant so much more than that to the linebacker.
Thomas played 12 seasons with the Dolphins after being just a fifth-round pick out of college.
He was one of the top linebackers in the NFL during much of his time in the league, measuring himself against greats like Ray Lewis.
He was one of the biggest faces of the franchise and helped the Dolphins reach the postseason a number of times.

Miami Dolphins veteran Will Allen is making the switch this year from cornerback to safety.
Allen is coming off of ACL surgery and is competing for the starting cornerback jobs with two young, promising players.
He knows it is unlikely he can beat either of them out, so he has made it known he is willing to switch positions.
Allen is likely concerned he could end up being a salary cap casualty later this summer and find himself out of a job.
The veteran said he just loves playing football, so he is willing to do whatever it takes to be out on the field as much as possible.

New Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall was not among those participating in a voluntary workout.
Marshall was out for undisclosed injury reasons and spent his time riding a stationary bike in the end zone.
The wide receiver spent much of his time gazing out at the field and trying to pick up some of the offense.
Marshall said it was frustrating not to be out on the field with his teammates, but that he has no reason to rush out there.
Miami is certainly excited about getting Marshall out there working with quarterback Chad Henne as soon as possible.
