Earl Thomas to Ravens

[JayFord]

Good

Now that this is over It should be a “ban” if anyone else even brings up earl thomas

Glad they didnt go nuts and over paying an aging, injury prone safety.

Would rather see them lock up, Cooper, Tank, Smith and Byron Jones myself.

I do agree with Coop, Tank and Smith. But also maybe some kinda free agent addition at DT or safety coulda helped more convince me of Jerry's All In statement. He fooled me again, lol .

 

[ak47kaehu]

Great. No more hearing about this ET crap on a daily basis....the defense played fine/great without him. DT and DE is more of an area that needs an upgrade.....silly fickle cowboy fans.....

 

[aria]

Haha...I still can’t get over how many complaints I see about not upgrading the roster through FA but praising the FO for not overspending. A lot of you literally sound like Jerry, you claim to want to win but only at the right price.

With this roster, the time is now but the FO rather save their money for a rainy day when there will be too many missing pieces to fix in FA with one or two players which is what we could have done.

Isn’t Suh still out there? He’s not as dominant as he once was but there is zero doubt that him and Earl would have made a huge difference.

 

[Melonfeud]

Welp, color me disappointed.
We all know that the contract breakdown will be different than what we are hearing now. Rationally, it probably was a little too expensive. But damm, I wanted to believe this FO would find a way to get him here to not only play, but help all the young guys.
Don't give a **** what low cost scrubs they bring in next week or so, and sit up there and crow about how fiscally responsible they have been. While the team does not get any better.
I'm the idiot, I bought into Jerry being worried about his mortality. I bought into their window being now. I bought into Stephen saying they would not be conservative, that they were going to take the next step. My ***.
My fault. Don't care about anything they do/don't do now. Don't care about who they will bring in with the draft. This is a broken/flawed front office.
My fandom which has been loud and proud has officially taken a back seat now - not over Thomas so much (well, a little) but by the lack of even attempting to improve this franchise.
Due to their utterly stupid/we know better attempt at WR by committee last year, they painted themselves into this corner. Cooper was a fantastic pick up. and will be a fantastic player moving forward. But. The capital it has cost to right that wrong is and will be very detrimental to this team.
Its not fun being a Cowboy fan right now.
This team cannot and will not compete, with other teams improving, and having way more draft stock that us to continue improving. While we are stuck with last years team - who weren't good enough last year. Worst off-season in quite a while, simply because the expectation was, that they would finally do better.

Ok, rant over.

It was a damn fine rant nevertheless

 

[BigD_95]

He didn't want to come here. This is clear.

If he did, he'd have come here.

no he wouldn't! Not if we are offering 8 million a year and he just got 14.

 

[TRUTH87]

Oh well...

Browns going for Eric Berry now.

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

Someone phone Jerry and let him know that my cash will go to the Browns now.

If I am going to finance a perennial loser, I might as well choose one who is at least trying. Re-signing and extending the guys you have repeatedly failed with, isn't trying.

Same failure of a coach. Same failing players.

Olawale? Just shove it.

2022 is right around the corner.

 

[DallasEast]

finally the Earl Thomas saga ends.

And the Earl Thomas teeth-gnashing era begins. Whines are currently holding at Category 3 levels with forecasts of whine gusts approaching Category 5 by the end of next month.

 

[xwalker]

Oh well...

Browns going for Eric Berry now.

KC wants to unload his contract. If Cleveland pays them draft picks to do it, that's a win for KC.

 

[ESisback]

And that statement has what exactly to do with telling everyone else how they should react like you're trying to do here?

I’m not TELLING anyone how to react so much as reacting to the ENDLESS unhappiness that has infected everything. It’s old and boring and lacks imagination. This is a game, a diversion, a hobby. It’s SUPPOSED TO BE fun! It’s not OUR livelihood, we’re bystanders!

 

[Nightman]

Ravens love them some veterans

Good no sign by the Cowboys!

He will dominate for BAL

 

[xwalker]

no he wouldn't! Not if we are offering 8 million a year and he just got 14.

Don't believe everything the media spits out.

 

[ItzKelz]

On maintaining mediocrity.

You dont think we have a contending team? Just because we did not over pay for an aging Earl Thomas that is coming off of injury?

 

[Gameover]

KC trying to extend Wonder Boy to a 500 million contract?

 

[gimmesix]

Schefter reports..

Interesting way to do it. By paying $22 million within the first nine months, the Ravens got a lower overall deal than they probably would have. Of course, I'm not sure Thomas is looking to play another four years.

Im sure Jerry will be heart broken to hear the news!

 

[exciter]

lol good job Dallas.

Excellent job not paying a 30 yo, over the hill, undersized, injury prone safety, to an outrageous contract!

 

[JayFord]

2022 is right around the corner.

Yuppie

Maybe he’ll only want 2 mil per
