Earl Thomas kicked out practice for fighting

[Stash]

Dallas is clearing cap space. Coincidence?

I guess they trust that back? (And hamstring)

 

[Stash]

Don’t think it will be the full 25 million hit. If it’s for fighting they can maneuver around some of that hit

You'd have to show me that 'fighting clause' in the contract.

Just posting what I’m reading lol

 

[Stash]

You would think they would have known this BEFORE signing him ........

Yeah, this looks like a rare miss for a Ravens team that's usually smarter.

I expect that they're exploring every option, I just don't think it would be easy.

The Ravens only way out is proving 'conduct detrimental', and that would probably involve a court battle when you're talking about that much money.

Looks to me like they all got themselves stuck.

What about the kinky **** with him and his brother?????? Does that count ......

Its 2 men having a scuffle in camp. This is really news. If you are a competitor you fought your best friends on the court or on a field. If they cut him over this they need to fire the gm.

I mean the Ravens problem in the palyoffs was that the two people whom the offense runs through (Andrews and Ingram) were injured and the defensive line was not very good so they got beat by the only running team in the playoffs (so add in a bad matchup as well). Basically none of that is something that ET could really do anything about.

Really the reason the Ravens were likely frustrated with Thomas is that Thomas likes to roam and the Ravens defense is all about structure so those two ideals do not gel well together.

OK GARETT, EXCUSES..ITS PROCESS..

give me a break dude, hes not been fitting in and his price tag and age says it was mistake when you miss out on deep playoff run,.,its the only reason to make move like that and its fail now..we were NOT in that postion at the time..

It’s deeper than that it seems. ET goes hard all of the time (no pun intended on that) in practice and games and seems to not go well other guys on the team. They also seem to like Elliott’s play. They did the same with Chuck Clark becoming the starter.

It doesn’t seem like Thomas is well liked amongst his teammates.

 

[Risen Star]

I can't lie...I wish Dallas had made a serious run at ET. They haven't had his kinda fire or attitude on defense in decades. The whole tenor of the team would be different with him in the locker room.

Oh well...I'm sure this will blow over as just another camp altercation. The Ravens are loaded and should be tough to beat (as usual).

I agree. It was odd that we were never connected to him as a possible suitor.

 

[Stash]

Well, Stash....what if you have to bench him for a better player?

Then you're still busting your cap on a player sitting and brooding on the bench and clearly crating a negative vibe in your locker room. If it's been that bad, you just cut him and maneuver your cap some other way.

Sounds like they are soft

You're guessing.

It might...

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Sounds like his teammates want him gone.........that's pretty serious on any team

Yes it is.

From my point of view, this looks like a player self-destructing. On and off the field.

Make sure to pick up all the straw you dropped on the ground from that strawman argument.

Reasons are not excuses. I cannot run a 4.2 40. If you asked me to do something that required it, I would give you that answer as to why I could not and that would not be an excuse that would be a reason I cannot do the thing in question. They had a bad matchup at a bad time (if they had faced them 1 week later then both Andrews and Ingram are more ready to play), and they could not overcome that.It happens to teams every year. In the playoffs the healthiest team wins.

Meanwhile, ET did not fit well with the Ravens defense, but still had a productive year and was certainly playing very well. Basically, after trading for Peters, and having Jimmy Smith come back from injury, the Ravens had the best secondary for the last 10ish games of the season and you will tolerate a lot when the results are speaking for themselves. They are also not going to go over the cap to make themselves a worse team.

My guess is as good as anybody’s. Just simply posting what the media is saying

 

[Hawkeye0202]

It might...

concubine, wife, weapon, sex ........that should do it (lol)

 

[bewp7]

cowboys need a leader like that more then any one
