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

[Floatyworm]

Only because we are so poorly managed.

This guy is a bad egg. I wouldn't want him anywhere near my locker room. Flipping the bird to his own team is just the latest unforgivable transgression.

We want this guy...yet we gave Dez the boot....Makes zero sense.

 

[Cydios]

We can him cheap now. I bet Seattle was like. Damn I should have taken that last offer.

ET is going to be 30 next year and has had 2 injuries back to back years.

If you can get him cheap and Richard is DC go for it. Otherwise pass. He’s a cancer. It’s one thing to be mad at FO but to give your team the finger is classless

Romo's collarbone didn't get the memo.

Clearly, you are ignorant of that situation.

1. It was not yet healed when he played against Carolina.
2. Romo's collarbone had a extra bit which made it more susceptible to being torqued. He had that issue taken care of after 2015.

Did you know Rodgers has also broken his collar bone twice? Broken bones happen. It doesn't mean bones are more likely to break in the future after they have healed. And bones aren't on some hit counter where after a certain numner of hits, they break. It can be 2 hits between breaks or 2000, or they could never break if they aren't subject to the right forces.

serves Seattle right...they played hardball with the Cowboys and now nobody gets him this season and they will not get ANY compensation for him.

Pretty ***** up how Seattle treated ET, meh glad we didn't get stuck with the bill though

He was under contract. He embarrassed his employer by chasing down JG then tweeting about the Cowboys this summer.

Had he been an adult and approached his team about a trade behind the scenes he probably would've gotten it. He chose to be a spectacle, and look what that got him. That he gave the finger on his way off is consistent with the behavior that got him to this point.

 

[Nightman]

Let's not cry for EThomas..... he just made 40m for the last 4 years .... 8.5m this year

He will get a good contract next year if his broken leg heals normally..... something like 4/30m

Same with LBell......he has forfeited 3.4m so far to protest losing out on 12m in guarantees he will eventually get anyways......stupid

 

[JoeKing]

Not that I like the Dixie Chicks... "Goodbye Earl"

 

[Silverstar]

Bye Felicia

 

[Jake]

Who?

Seven months of "ET will phone home" and nothing to show for it.

True, I guess both sides have been ***** to each other.

If Dez were the best player in the NFL at his position and a future hall of fame guy, he would still be on this team. Earl is both of those things.

Does anyone know does any injury like this usually result in a full recovery ?

Yes

 

[Cowboysfan1975]

Sorry, don't want whiners on this team that think it's okay to tell current employers off and flip off fans.

I like that he did it. This is the exact thing he was trying to protect himself against the whole time.

Doesn't make it okay to make a classless gesture on your way off the field.

He broke his leg two years ago.

Nice post. While I agree with the idea behind his holdout, he handled it pretty badly.

That's your opinion and you are welcome to it.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Why was he flipping the bird?

He wasn't flipping Seattle organization off. He was lifting his index finger indicating to them that they're #1.
