Your opinion on signing Earl Thomas after week 1

[freemanjc19]

Didn't see much from Xavier woods.

 

[ArtClink]

Yes I think ET would be a huge upgrade at offensive coordinator, and he doesnt have any prev experience either.

 

[star-ving]

He can't help this team. Just clone Aldon Smith and flush the rest.

 

[Praxit]

...after tonight, adding the defense wasn't to bad. I think ET would be a plus. Besides, he can be a play maker.

 

[sacase]

Sign him ASAP.

 

[CyberB0b]

Can ET play offensive line? Linebacker?

 

[Cydios]

Wouldn't hurt

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

My opinion is that this defense still lacks any type of playmaker. Everyone is a second too slow.

 

[CWR]

Sign him please. We need all the help we can get.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

We just lost LVE for awhile. Bringing in a playmaker doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

 

[exciter]

My question is "will they" not "should they" sign him.


I don't think waiting until after week 1 is an issue.

They could sign him to a Greg Hardy type contract where the majority of the pay is from a weekly bonus.

Example:
Salary: 1M
Per Game Bonus: 500K

That's 9M total but only 1M is guaranteed.

If they waited until after week 1, then 25% of his salary is still guaranteed.
- If the contract was 8M, then 2M would be guaranteed.

I don't think they're interested in ET at this point.

I think that would only change if they lose game 1 with the top problem being the play of the Safeties and even then it still seems unlikely.

Nope! Why sigh someone who’s gonna create a distraction not attending film sessions?
