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

[EPL0c0]

It's to the point now where how do we not win the Super Bowl?

a contagious virus forces a shut down of the season.

Seriously though. I will do whatever I have to do to ensure this season goes on

Even with the hard loss of Gerald McCoy, I haven't been *THIS* excited about a Dallas defense or offense in the same season in ages.

IMO this defense, if they add Earl Thomas, could be one of the best defenses in league history except for the '85 Bears and '00 Ravens and maybe the '13 Seahawks

Just when I thought the cowboys would make it through the offseason without pure stupidity !

maybe this is just Jerry’s and company’s thirst to be in the limelight this would be stupid if it takes place

Roy went to crap after he married that gurl from the spice girls.. Oops Destinies child. He even said she changed him

Women weaken the legs.

Thanks, but no thanks.

he scares me. His behavior is that if someone that has been hit to the head too much,no joke. LOVE the potential to help us, but the other stuff might be a HUGE issue, plus he could be suspended.

So media says we are in the lead.....translates to us fans here as “ no chance in hell he’ll be a cowboy”. Signing him on the cheap is a no brainer IMO. even if he isn’t up his normal standards he’s an upgrade at the position, trading for him? not so much

sign him as a FA but dont give up anything of value in a trade.

If they bring this guy in now they are going full 2008.

Unless they sign him for peanuts after being released they should just stay away. He seems like a guy about to be out of the nfl. Putting him in Dallas would create a level of hype that I doubt he can handle.

This would be 3 new old players who have the ability to snap and go off the rails at any one time in the locker room. Thomas, Smith and Griffen. Just like 08 when that locker room had Owens, Johnson and Pac Man.

this would also be a huge move towards doing things the old way and not the way Garrett was running the organization. Garrett's way while hated by most resulted in a number of good drafts and relying on young players to improve and not chasing older players previous histories. This would be a direct statement on that way of doing things.

of course as with most teams if you are going for it and talent is available you go out and get it. Works for Belichick, Coughlin etc.

Heard it here first. Cowboys trade Michael Gallup and a 2nd round pick for Earl Thomas.......

Lol no way, no team will trade for him and 10m contract.

 

[Stash]

sign him as a FA but dont give up anything of value in a trade.

And sign a deal you can easily get out of

You got to wonder if this is an excuse for cap reasons as well.

A year ago, when Thomas was signed, Lamar Jackson was considered a fringe starter.

Now the Ravens will likely be negotiating a contract similar to Mahomes.

 

[Stash]

There it is! Conduct detrimental out!

 

[Carson]

So no dead cap?

 

[MikeB80]

I am here in Baltimore. They do love those guys but they want 3 safeties. They believe that’s how you beat the Chiefs. They want to stop the run and cover on the back end. This will be the best defense our offense will play against next season if their young linebackers come around. I like them better the 49ers defensively.

it might be the best defense we play and it might not. They are a man to man team that blitzes all the time out of dime looks with 3 safeties or in nickel like you said. This seems a pefect match for our offense. Pick up a blitz and exploit the man to man on the back end. I would think Cooper, lamb and Jarwin could make huge plays against a team that blitzes as much as they do...especially now without thomas.

I think that seattle defense is going to be really improved and a problem when Dallas goes there.

two things here

1. “Garrett’s way” resulted in absolutely nothing of value. So if we have to go the opposite of his way that cant be a bad thing.

2. ET has nowhere near the baggage of Pacman Jones or Tank Johnson while still being much a better football player than both.

 

[Stash]

So no dead cap?

Oh no. Still plenty.

 

[BlueNSilver88]

lets go cowboys! get him signed

 

[CTcowboy203]

No way on a trade....hell yes as a free agent

I don't care if Earl murdered his entire family. He's like a son to me!
