News: Earl Thomas may not play?

[3rd_n_inches]

Jerry! From a marketing standpoint, this is what WE need!!!
We need drama from this one-year FA disgruntled, low class employee.

That all-pro saftey wants to come play for us

 

[Toomany10pins]

You think Seattle is going to just ride out the season with Thomas, put up a 5-11 record, and let him leave for nothing?

No, they will just franchise him. Or take their COMP 3rd rounder.

 

[SlammedZero]

Could you imagine this defense with ET, Irving back, and Gregory staying out of trouble and healthy?

 

[erod]

No, they will just franchise him. Or take their COMP 3rd rounder.

A comp 3rd is a virtual 4th, and if they sign anybody of note, they won't even get that.

And the franchise tag is silly.

 

[robbieruff]

Whoa

They don’t want to risk injury when they’re about to trade him

Now, now, matey.
He wants to play for us for how long. 1 year?
Then an NFL show-me-the-money tour before landing in New York or New England?
Lol
You so silly, ruffian.

Why would ET participate in this game? He's a Seahawk only until this game is in the books, then the agreed trade will commensurate and ET can fly back home with his new team. Anyway, that's how I see it playing out. Cheers!

Vegas now has us as an underdog by 1 point, whereas we started out at three. This means on a neutral field, we'd be up by 2. I like it. Those are really slim odds that can easily be beaten with good execution. Don't be shocked if the betting line becomes a tossup at game time. We're in it, folks!

Dak is better and cheaper than Wilson

Yep, in the same way as a toyota is better and cheaper than a Ferrarri.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Dak is better and cheaper than Wilson

Do you mean Russell Wilson ?

 

[alicetooljam]

Do you mean Russell Wilson ?

He meant Wade...

 

[staubach24]

Let's see... Carroll is being vague about Thomas and saying he's not hurt but won't play. Thomas is still unhappy about his contract and that the Seahawks didn't trade him for the 2nd rd pick Jerry offered.

Prediction: ET comes home. (Maybe on the team charter coming back. Well, maybe not that soon)

 

[stiletto]

He is packing he crap for the trip back to Dallas....that takes a little time..lol.

Everyone keeps saying Seattle will get a 3rd comp pick for Thomas when he leaves. This is just not the truth. They may get a 3rd BUT they also might get NOTHING depending what they do in FA. This is a risk he may end up walking at end of year and they could get nothing in return

Also have to realize that third is at the end of the round, and it is ANOTHER year later.

 

[ehwqkbmg]

This could be like the Duane Brown scenario last season when the Texans traded him to the Seahawks right after they played each other in Seattle...

 

[Cmac]

Seattle and Pete Carroll are dissolving. Pete going back to USC soon.....how about UCLA?

 

[Rayman70]

Seattle will trade him before the trade deadline to us..and not for a 2nd or 3rd. The asking price keeps dropping btw...they know this. I think they are holding ET out actually to protect there trade piece. I don't think its all ET doing this.

 

[Bullflop]

I wouldn't be too surprised if Pete Carroll is just playing it coy, knowing full well that Earl Thomas will be playing. He seems to be somewhat disenchanted with the Cowboys and his talks with the FO that didn't award him with what he wanted. It's a curious circumstance in any case. Of course, he could also be planning a trade and holding him out for that reason. We'll see.

 

[cristglo]

If Earl plays Sunday most theories will be thrown out the window. If he doesnt play it will drag on another day and there will be 10,000 more posts on the subject with a dozen more speculations. Monday everybody will be checking their phones and their tweets in anticipation of a Trade. Monday night If it does happen this board will blow up if it doesnt happen maybe it will rest until off season.
