News: Earl Thomas may not play?

[Carson]

He’s playing

 

[Tangle_Foot]

The seahawks employing the rope-a-dope I see

 

[lukin2006]

It is obvious that he doesn't want a bad statistical day to affect his future earnings...wouldn't you sit out with the octane Dallas Cowboys offense coming to town?

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Come on to Dallas Earl!

 

[lukin2006]

Maybe some reporters can stake out the Cowboys plane and see if Thomas boards it Sunday night. That would be great ...

 

[Jipper]

this is actually pretty comical at this point.....

 

[LucaBrasi]

Methinks he’ll be on the Cowboys charter Sunday evening.

 

[Stash]

so they don't want him getting hurt if they lose and decide to move him after this week maybe that is it?

An interesting theory to be sure...

My first thought after reading the headline was Earl is clearly dissing the team for not trading him to us. Since you wouldn't trade me "to" the Cowboys, I'm not playing "against" the Cowboys. Fine me. Do whatever. I could be wrong but that was my first thought. It wouldn't be the professional thing to do, but who knows what's going on inside ET's head after this off-season?

I like everything you said, but the Cowboys' safety play has been very good. Kavon Frazier has been a beast and I'm not sure Xavier Woods is getting his starting spot back. And since Woods is a heck of a player himself and way younger than ET, the Cowboys just may decide to keep whatever pick they were going to send Seattle.

As half this board quietly slides underneath the nearest rock....

We told you.

Given this news, it is 50/50 that Earl Thomas is on the Cowboys charter home to Dallas after game 3.

What a loser. I swear, the more I hear about this guy the less I like him. So now he may be personally screwing over his teammates, sounds like a great guy. I’ll be curious to hear what the reasoning is but I’m almost to the point where I wouldn’t want him regardless. We’re doing fine without him.

 

[JayFord]

Ear is going to play

Seattle doesn't want to risk injury. This isn't just him. It's coordinated.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Wow this is odd, to say the least...

 

[Hailmary]

They’re resting him so he doesn’t get hurt since we’ve probably come to an agreement in a trade lol

That's my thinking. It's a very common practice in baseball. We hardly ever see it in the NFL, but only because in season trades are so rare.

 

[mmohican29]

Maybe the trade off is Beasley's mysterious ankle issue? lol

I wouldn't put it past these owners to play games like this.

No. Beasley is on the injury report. It's a legit issue; but I like how you think.

I love you guys. So predictable. Of course he's house shopping in Dallas. Is there a deadline on this trade thing? Please, can it come and go and end this!
