Fisher on Earl Thomas

[Direwolf63]

Key word is "affordable". My guess is that Earl's definition of affordable is very different than the Cowboys definition.

Still think it's a long shot.

 

[J12B]

3 year 27 million/ 18 million guaranteed.

3 year 27 million/ 18 million guaranteed.

Seems doable.

 

[Bowdown27]

He’s coming. First round pick for amari and Earl Thomas basically lol I’m kidding but seriously. We didn’t give up a pick for earl. We got amari and now we can acquire earl

 

[conner01]

3 year 27 million/ 18 million guaranteed.

That would seem reasonable considering he’s coming of injury
Hes guaranteed to get a couple years and 18 mil and if he’s still healthy and playing well he could get another deal after

 

[Corso]

What was the term last year? A "fair offer" that nobody took?
Sweet.

 

[Zekeats]

It’ll be a 4yr deal Somewhere near 25 guaranteed and 45 overall and it should be FRONT LOADED

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Let's assume a 3 year deal, with the first year fully guaranteed and the 2nd year 65% guaranteed.

What's the highest figure you would go?

Jerry's favorite word. That said, consider it a done deal.

I’m wondering if the front office all but had a deal already worked out when they talked of trading for him last year ? You would think that if Dallas was really trying to trade for Earl last season they already had all agreed on the parameters of a deal ? Taking into account now his injury it “should” be an easy deal to complete if both sides were serious at all last year .. who knows .. probably a long shot though .. I see Dallas low balling and Earl still wanting 10+++ per year

You mean Stephen's. Jerry would like the cap to go away in a fart and spend some dolla dolla bils y'all.

Yea, I think that's probably true. Or, I'd like to think it's true lol.

Obviously there were going to be serious talks. We could use him, and uber talented safeties play a long time. I don't think most people realize that it's not uncommon for very good safeties to be pretty good until they're in their mid 30s.

The real question is, a team like the Colts who have to play in the AFC with the Chiefs, Patriots, and have a metric butt ton of cap could overpay him. Browns? Other teams who try and go in this offseason probably looking at him, especially ones who think they're on the edge.

I don't know. I'd think 10mill is the upper range for him, we probably get a.... break... pause for effect... with his injury history. 3 year 24mill 12-15 guaranteed is what I have for him, so probably +1 standard deviation given market, and I'd pay that.

It's going to be entirely up to the possible bidding war if teams want him, good amount of teams coming up with a ton of cap.

I guess one good thing is he's probably more valuable to teams that run single high schemes, cover 3 and cover 1 man stuff. But, when you know you have to beat the Chiefs and Patriots, you'd probably be happy plugging him in at S even if you play a lot of Cover 2.

 

[ThrowuptheXDez88]

THIS SAYS NOTHING! HOW IS THIS EVEN A THREAD??? HE DIDN'T EVEN GIVE REAL INFORMATION

 

[CouchCoach]

3 year 27 million/ 18 million guaranteed.

He looking a little further north than that like a 4 year 52/40 guaranteed and if Collins gets tagged by NY, he may want more. The reason he wanted out of SEA was money.

 

[mattjames2010]

Earl Thomas is practically begging to be a Cowboy LOL We'll give the money to Cooper instead.

My guess, each side might have had something in mind, but he was still under the final year of his contract and that could be considered tampering if Dallas contacted him or his rep. directly.

[unionjack8]

He ain't signing for 3 years.
He is gonna get a 5 year deal for north of 50m.
Probably 27-30 million guaranteed....
