Earl Thomas Carted off field with an air cast on his right leg **merged**

[mardwin]

I think it sucks for anyone to suffer a major injury.

word...

 

[Old'Boyfan]

I doubt this helps ET's status for next year, it only adds to his injury history and the bird flip makes him look petulant. I think he'll get less on the open market now. As much as I wanted him a few weeks ago I wouldn't be willing to give him a long high dollar deal.

 

[Vanilla2]

Everyone is safe on this team...

Why’s it matter. We flip out every time a player is let go

 

[Hennessy_King]

In my opinion, I honestly don't think this will drop his market that much. Had it been an acl or anything with ligament damage, then teams would get concerned, and his market would drop substantially. He should be able to return to his all pro form after the bone heals. A clean break in a bone with no displacement or ligament damage is really just a time consuming, semi minor injury. I'm sure his agent knows this.

Yes he will have no lingering effects but teams will say well you've missed x games the past few seasons. It will definitely effect his money.

True. I see your point. And I also agree, no one should ever find solace in a player getting injured.

I wonder what the fine for the one finger wave is going to be? No way the commish is going to over look that...

 

[ksadler1]

Can't trade for injured players, and why if you could, when you can get him for nothing in the offseason

Hell, we get them for nothing in the draft...

 

[AzorAhai]

This is so moronic. Typical couch potato fan who think these players aren't human and see them as pawns. Cheering on an injury for multiple reasons. Typical classless sports fan. The whole "fall in line to my line of thinking or hopefully bad injuries happen". So ignorant and trashy.

He’s the same as all the other jealous idiots. I’m sure he has the usual repertoire in his vocabulary. He knew what he was signing. He’s making 10 million to play a game. I’d play for 100k.

I’m sure he would have no problem working on a salary that is outdated or being told after 2018 he was going to be fired, but due to his contract he has to show up, be happy and act like everything is good until then.

Many people here don't understand that about bones.

If you were one of the most talented men in the world at your job making your company billions a year you would do it for $100,000? No you wouldn't shut up.

True. Unfortunately, I have had 4 broken bones in my lifetime, all at different times. Left arm, right arm, pelvis and leg.

Actually, my bad, the pelvis and right arm were together, which occurred from a 3 story fall out of a tree, onto concrete. This happened when I was eight, and I went on to play baseball for four years, and then football for 3 years.

I definitely know when a cold front is moving in though. That's the only side effects, I have ever experienced.

Romo's collarbone didn't get the memo.

 

[AzorAhai]

if its just a broken bone then he will be back fairly quick- actually he could make it back for the playoffs if they make it and do not IR him.

There’s not a chance in hell he ever suits up for Seattle again, playoffs or not. He already showed up and played knowing this could happen. Now that his obligation is fulfilled he won’t put himself in that position again, playoffs or not, before FA.

I wasn’t talking about ET, which should have been quite clear. So either work on your reading comprehension or take your own advice.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Well he was healthy for just long enough to hand us a loss.

Great.

This, just our luck.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Earl just broke his leg

Goodbye Earl!
Went down as a warrior.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

My heart goes out to the Seahawks front office. RIP chance for 2nd rounder when you had it.

Not only that but his price in free agency went down so no 3rd or 4th comp pick either haha

That's my bad thought u were talking about earl not the poster. sorry fam

No I’m 100% behind ET. I hate when people play with my money and that’s exactly what Seattle did to ET. Most of these claiming he’s wrong or Seattle wasn’t being shady are jealous and those are the typical phrases they shout off to defend it.

 

[Jipper]

Sorry to hear but at least now we know Jerry won't blow a 2nd round pick on a guy he can have off the street next year
