His immaturity? How so? Him wanting an extension for all the great years he put in? Some financial security for him and his family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetFancyMoses Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 30 years old in May coming off an injury. Sorry Earl, not paying highest paid safety numbers for that. Rather hope Landon Collins becomes a free agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtait93 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 He can still get his money even after this. Sherman got a pretty good contract considering he was coming off an achilles, an even worse injury, and is the same age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossburg Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 No sure why people have to take sides in these kind of things. Unless a party is being completely irrational, both parties are trying to do what it best for them, sometimes they don't agree and that's ok. That being said, I do not expect a grown man who already made a ton of money being so butthurt that he can't make more money to flip off his own team as he's carted off the field (if that was indeed what was happening).

It sucks to see Earl Thomas go out like that; however, he has wanted a brand new deal for a long time. During the off-season he stated that football was very dangerous and he didn't feel comfortable playing the game without a deal securing his future. That's very understandable and I wanted the team to extend him all off-season. He's been frustrated for so long and he actually got hurt, so it all came out. When he flipped off the sideline, I think that was towards the organization in general. I don't think he was flipping off Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson and the rest of the players.

tom cody Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Completely immature by Thomas yesterday. No need for what he did at all in sticking out the finger. The guy is talented but that act and his injury would turn me off trading for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was flipping off Pete Carroll most likely - because the reason he was holding out (and not practicing) is that he wanted a long-term contract as security in case of injury. Now he hits FA where another team has all the leverage over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get both sides outlook on it but let's not act like he's making 40k a year and wants a little more money so he can send his kid to college.

It could've also been job security, or just the peace of mind knowing he won't have to up and move his entire life if he gets injured and then becomes a FA. Who knows.
