Thomas 2/24 guaranteed with SB incentives, rings = highest paid safety, really think he could be as good a FA for GB as Woodson, both super intelligent playmaker's which translates as they age. Why would earl want to sign a 2 year dea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't hear anything about him looking for 15 apy. I heard he wants to be the highest paid safety in the league and that would be anything ovet 13 apy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Berry is the highest paid S at 13 per, for ET 2/24 fully guaranteed with Superbowl incentives to push him above Berry. IDK 24 million fully guaranteed may be worth more than a 3 year deal not full guaranteed, I don't see a 24 million dollar signing bonus on a three year deal, do you?

Why would a 30 on arguably his last chance to cash in sign a 2 year deal? Edited March 5, 2019 by Arthur Penske Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isherwood Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 “Incentives” don’t do anything for negotiations with players of Earl Thomas’s caliber. Probably not for most big name free agents 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Andy Herman: It’s likely going to cost too much draft capital but Dee Ford is an ideal fit for GB. Obviously he has the relationship with Mike Smith but when you have the slow burn collapse the pocket interior of Clark/Daniels, his speed off the edge would be deadly.

moretti19 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) I would prefer a much younger Landon Collins than Earl Thomas TBH. The safety's in this class showed yesterday that they have the speed to play deep such as Thornhill, Savage (my favorite) and CGJ to name a few. One of these guys with Collin's next to them sounds really good to me. I also like the idea of Josh Jones, Landon Collins and one of these rookies on the field at the same time as well.

I'm surprised with how much Collins is talked about around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
