FORMER is the key word. nobody wanted thomas last year, which tells me he is done. his goose is cooked. he is slow coming off injury, and he is not his FORMER self. I rather have Xavier Woods.

There is a new article on a paysite that goes into his time in Baltimore. He skipped half his position meetings and had a bunch of coverage breakdowns in games because of it. When a teammate said something to him, he suckerpunched the guy.

Then after a bad loss he chartered his own jet to Vegas afterward and skipped the team flight.

When Houston was talking to his agent a bunch of the Baltimore players talked to Houston players, who immediately told their front office they didn't want any part of the guy.

I'll pass.

Understand totally .......I'm guessing what the Ravens saw is what he's been doing most of his time as a Seahawk. The difference he was an established All-Pro with a lot of rope from Carroll. In other words, as long as he was making plays and going to Pro Bowls. My point is sometimes a player has to hit rock bottom that forces him to self-reflect. It's why I said depending on where his head is.

Sounds like a massive ego problem. It's possible that having to sit out a year took a little air out of his sails.

Doesn't hurt to look and we need a free safety.

Right. He could be vetted about those things, and I would expect him to be on good behavior for a year. The question is whether he would come cheaply enough or take an incentive-laden deal that would make it worth it.

If he's willing to take one of those Steven Jones cheapo two-year specials which come at absolutely no risk then sure. We need a free safety and he definitely knows this defense.

We spend all of this money on the mental health program might as well put it to use.

If it doesn't work then cut him and no harm done.

Reading that article, it sounded like Earl Thomas is way, way past the point of figuring it out and changing this tune.

Keanu Neal is the Safety most likely to come to Dallas. Wonder can Kazee play nickel, anyway, no way on Earl.

Earl's cumulative career earnings are 82mil. Can't imagine any team paying him any appreciable percentage of that next year, and it's not like he can play a "prove it" contract at 32 in 2021 and then get a big contract at 33 in 2022.

He's playing for a ring or marketing. Might want a decent season or two so he doesn't end his career on such a sour note. Better for future marketing, and self satisfaction. But might not, too. He does seem to be in the crazy bitter end stage of his story.

Arguable on the Catch.

The overturn of the ruling on the field was absurd. Clown League.

Totally unserious to claim that there was incontrovertible visual evidence on a judgment call of a "football move" on one of the top ten controversial calls in the last decade.
