They call him Fish for a reason. Headlines like this are nothing but bait.

I don't think Earl Thomas is a big enough lightning rod to cause a distraction at this point.

I don't think anyone cares.
Nobody cares that he's terrorizing his wife and children and she just had to get a restraining order on him?
He's toast in the NFL.

What's it going to be then, eh?

Not privy to those allegations.

It does explain a lot why it seemed that nobody would touch him with a ten foot pole.

The brightside is that this could be Uncle Jerry's new rehabilitation project.

Earl Thomas is not signing for just the veteran minimum. He has already banked 82mil in his career. He's 32. He's at the end of the trail.

We should offer him a decent contract in game day checks. Some performance bonuses. Let him get paid as well as he plays. Discount it for perceived risk he'll flake come the season. Treat his signing like we always said to treat Gregory - as a bonus, if available. It shouldn't stop us from signing a S we like.

Offer him value for delivering value. Always leave him financial incentive to come through. Veteran minimum doesn't do that.
