Twitter: Werder: "Internal Conflict" With Signing Earl Thomas

[ClappingCarrot]

Just watched him on ESPN as well, saying that McCarthy doesn't seem to be into the idea of signing Earl.

Will Jerry do what Jerry does and sign him anyway?

Where is the internal conflict part?

Mike will not have players in his locker room that he does not want regardless of what Jerry Jones does. That's not going to change unless Jerry is willing to fire mike over it. Bottom line is Jerry is going to respect Mike's opinion.

Exactly. ESPN wants clicks, like most media.

Broaddus on the radio just said something similar. He said McCarthy is the one against signing Thomas. Then he added he believes if Garrett were still here they would of signed earl thomas today.

That was verbatim from his segment on Sportscenter. I haven't discovered that on Twitter yet and was going to have a mod add it, once I find the link.

I hope JJ lets MM be the decision maker.

this and the fact taht we are not signing him should make everyone feel incredible that Jerry is giving a superbowl winning head coach the ability to actually make decisions and run the team how he sees fit.

This will get done. That's why they were trying everyone at safety today. Making sure they knew they didn't have a better option on the roster before pulling the trigger.

Just get it done. If he acts out release him

Well I salute mike for letting jerry know ET is not a player he wants.
I think right now they have no distractions and good attitudes, and ET could easily disrupt all that positive energy they have going.

These guys love to make up stuff. Dallas Cowboys equals quick click bait!!!

Hope?

I've heard here so many times that MM is clearly in charge now.

When Mike is the one signing the contracts then this fantasy of yours might begin to sniff reality. If Jerry wants it, Mike will make do as best he can. I do think Jerry is just doing his media posturing routine. Just like with the Manziel nonsense that people seem to believe was real.

We do it here. Those guys just get paid for it.

He is. If he wasn’t Earl would have signed yesterday if Garrett was here.

 

[mschmidt64]

Well if Mike says no then it should be no, but I am not convinced the media has the whole story straight at this point.

That's what I say. Have him sign a trap door contract and then activate the trap door on a single incident if you have to. Sounds like a long year/growing pains type of experience for the secondary. Can we withstand that this year? I'm not looking to find out if we don't have to. Same as the RDE situation before Griffen.

Mike McCarthy is not the GM. Jerry is. McCarthy knew that when he took the job. What about Jerry tells you that he'd allow McCarthy to bully him in that way? Sure, he'd listen to his input, but the buck stops with Jerry. There's a reason he's never hired a real GM.
