Cowboys By No Means Out on Earl Thomas

[Toomany10pins]

Really?

I thought Thomas was the best in Pro Football?!?

Seahawks must not think so.

Salary cap, Salary, age, plus recent injury history.

Same reasons Dallas hasn’t signed yet. WHEN he is on the field, he’s the best FS in football IMHO. That’s the problem, he hasn’t been on the field much the past 2 years.

Plus he seems to have problems with managent. (He flipped off the team while being carted.)

I've worked with guys like that. Poison.

That's why the Steelers cut AB lose.

I think we pass. He'd take up half the cap just to sign him.

Thomas is nowhere near AB and his issues with management was not getting a deal done sooner with him.

It's the same crap people don't understand about the AB situation either - this all comes down to players looking out for their future, so of course when they lose out on guaranteed money or they don't have that anymore, they will make a fuss and want to go somewhere they can get it.

Hellz yeah, lets go ET!

 

[Alexander]

When Earl Thomas starts flirting and Dallas does zero, do not be surprised.

I trust Anderson's report far more than someone like Fisher who basically serves as a propaganda machine to keep the natives calm.

He has already paved the way saying that they will "try". Well, "trying" could be as simple as naming their figure and getting rejected.

 

[Risen Star]

Luscious Lips Slater reporting the Cowboys aren't in on Earl Thomas "right now".

Yeah, but what about 15 minutes from now, toots?

 

[DBOY3141]

he'll rejoin Sherm in SF.

 

[Jake]

Some have clung to a fantasy that ET's first priority is to be a Cowboy. His first priority is to get paid.

All things being equal he'd likely pick Dallas.

 

[Cowfan75]

Out? No

Willing to pay 13-15 a year? Hell no

Skins and Giants are interested as well. Would be awful playing him twice a year

Yup. Some fans talk about his age and his injury...see how old and hurt he looks when he's picking Dak off twice per meeting like he did last season.

 

[Teague31]

Honest offer presser on its way. They probably have it already written up

 

[TRUTH87]

Texans throwing honeybadger 9.5M.... ET is significantly better. will JJ throw 12-15M to ET?

 

[Alexander]

This really sounds like a player who is prepared to take a reasonable offer because he wants so badly to be a Cowboy.

 

[John813]

he'll rejoin Sherm in SF.

And he can have 2 chances to "stick it" to the Seahwaks in the process.

[Vegas_Cowboy]

Screw that. Now we're back up to 15M per again.

I'd offer Honey Badger 11M per and be happy. He's younger and would still be a big upgrade at a cheaper price.

 

[Teague31]

He will lose millions in taxes going to California rather than staying in Texas

The Texans already offered him $9.5M and he wants to play the market.

And you honestly think players think this way? If so, Dallas would have a competitive advantage.

Psst. We don't.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Just sign Amos for 8 million per.

 

[Teague31]

This place is going to be a real treat come week one when Jeff Heath is still a starter
