Twitter: Ravens moving on from Earl Thomas, Cowboys most likely suitor

[xwalker]

If the Cowboys miss out on this opportunity they are just plain dumb. Thomas is a player who is worth the risk and he is now damaged goods. Go out and make the Charles Haley move.

Charles Haley was 28 and in the peak of his career when the Cowboys acquired him.

Come on man, he’s no longer “Charles Haley” performance level. I’m afraid Father Time has been tapping his door. And he’s not interested in playing for chump change which is what he’s worth now.

ET was once the best S in the league. But that never lasts forever. No thanks.

He’s significantly better than anything we currently have

what the hell.
if the price is right...why not.

Whatever we do, just don’t trade for him please. He still might have some juice left however. The Honey Badger looked washed up too and than made it to KC and was a Star again.

I think after Baltimore flat out released him a pay cut will definitely be in order.

The question is can mccarthy manage so many big egos. We KNOW that other bum couldnt but mccarthy has more cred around the league. Hes no Mike Tomlin but we'll see

McCarthy handled Aaron Rodgers. He's a massive egomaniac.

Lets not forget all the malcontent TEs that were in GB, James Jones

Yup, and McC still managed playoff runs as their coach. He's been to the NFCC more than any of our coaches have since he became an OC.

Throw my half cent in on this.... After what i saw last year... i dont care if he comes to big D or not.

He was very good for the Ravens last year...ask their fans.

I made two comments when this news broke. One about the Cowboys being a lock Super Bowl winner. The other about Thomas potentially piecing up Prescott.

The first comment is currently sitting at 20 likes. The second at 32 likes.

Regardless of how this Thomas saga ends we learned in this thread our fans would rather see Prescott get his comeuppance than the Cowboys win another Super Bowl.

I've never been prouder of you guys than I am today.

The latter may lead to the former?

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

He's still a good player and he could potentially snap at any moment and beat the living crap out of Prescott.

I'm all in.

Haha..... It's like an all day, 24 with you Risen. Don't get me wrong, I admire your tenacity.

again this type of mentality is what Garrett/McClay went out of there way to avoid..They wanted young players and they wanted them to play. All of a sudden the defense is a bunch of old guys with an unstable off the field situation and then other guys who have injury histories.

Seems like a recipe for disaster to me. There really is nothing to me yet that says this defense is going to even be good let alone "compete for a title"

Good post. You always give well reasoned logic supporting your opinions. Great job.

 

[Hayseed]

Ha ha goes bye bye if he is signed.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

Lost a step yet would be better than any FS we have

I don’t know. I watched a good bit of Ravens games and Earl was constantly taking bad angles coming downhill in run support, or getting washed-out by WR blocks, getting out ran or just generally getting stiff-armed into oblivion by bigger RBs. It looked like he lost his edge.

And I was an “ET come home” guy last off-season, but what I saw was a FS that lost some ability and wasn’t worth the $13-14M he was getting. If we can have him cheap, sure...see if 2019/Ravens was just an off year for him.

 

[75boyz]

We have everything but the GM and the QB. Teams in worse positions have won Super Bowls.

If we were not cursed I’d say this is our year.

You rock bro.

 

[DoctorChicken]

Gehlken is saying Ha Ha hasn't been impressive.

Ha Ha has never been impressive. He’s been an average safety ever since he entered the league.

 

[robjay04]

Ha ha goes bye bye if he is signed.

Personally, I’d like to keep him for the depth. Seems like a safety always misses a few games for this team every season.

You sign Thomas to a 2/3 year deal
Ha Ha is then released
Let Woods play next to ET
If Woods doesn’t play well, Wilson is the future at SS
Wilson then gets a year or two next to Thomas
