Twitter: Texans making push for Earl Thomas

[Sydla]

$3M for Tre Boston was too much.

According to our great co-GM, Boston wasn't a "fit" with our scheme. Apparently they only viewed him as a SS.

Safe to say it's a battle for ET in Texas? Wonder if Richard has any influence

He’s there for the Texans to have! No battle being waged between the two

 

[NeonNinja]

Which is smart considering the guy is over 30 and been injured 3 years in a row. No way am I paying him $14 million per year.

Too many other priorities.

Sorry, he should be priority #1. What other priorities? Dak: can let him play the year out or over pay. D-Law: he’s tagged;can handle later.

 

[Gameover]

If the reports are true and we offered $8-10 range, I am very surprised he just didnt flip us off and go sign elsewhere by now.

Like you said, he must really want to be a Cowboy.

Then he should sign for 8 to 10 million!

It really is ET or bust now, all the other really good safeties have been snatched up already.

If we lose out on ET, might have to go with a draft pick there or just roll with Heath again.

Dak, Tank, Byron Jones, Zeke to name a few. Not paying Earl $14m a year and losing a good young player.

Austin is a lot closer to Houston than Dallas.

We like our guys...Stephen!

It's meant to be. Don't fight it.

LLLOOLLL

This is all just silly.

Earl wants to come to Dallas. He accosted Garrett.

Texas has no state income tax. That makes Dallas clearly the right choice.

Wait.

Honestly, we shouldn't even be thinking about Byron Jones and even Elliott.

I like both players but guess what, they are under contract.

Prescott carries the OMGHEISAQBWEGOTTAPAYHIM label.

I get thinking "big picture", but that is just asinine.

This is a year to year league.

We need to figure that out.

Thomas didn't agree to terms with anyone today. Despite being the obvious #1 S available.

Why?

Because he wants to go to Dallas. He's waiting on them. He's giving them every chance to step up and make a competitive offer.

 

[speedkilz88]

Why? Because no one wants to pay him $15 million

 

[conner01]

So they won't pay Mathieu $10 per, but are going to pay Thomas $15+?

I'll believe it when I see it.

Maybe, maybe not but a ton of difference in the players
ET is an elite safety

You are a sadist.

If he was 25 he might just get it
Now, I’m not sure he’s worth it and I want him bad

 

[lostar2009]

Meh let them have them. Almost any FA out there now is better than Heath so I'm not tripping too hard. Just have to be a good fit.

 

[conner01]

ET is going to get 15M.

He might
But I wouldn’t pay him 15

 

[Risen Star]

You are a sadist.

You're just pissed off that Thomas is going to pick a ball off for us to give the ball back to Prescott so he can hit McElroy down the seam to win us a Super Bowl.

That will be so in your face when that happens.

Earl may be singing this song...
God blessed Texas
With His own hands brought down angels from the promise land
