RaidersAreOne Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 #Ravens star safety Earl Thomas was sent home from the facility Friday following a fight with teammate Chuck Clark, per sources. A situation to monitor. My understanding is the #Ravens told Earl Thomas to stay home today after sending him home Friday following the practice altercation with teammate Chuck Clark. No decisions yet on his status, but keeping Thomas away for now buys time for Baltimore to evaluate its options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 The @Ravens situation with Earl Thomas could come to a head today. Sources said the team's Leadership Council made it clear to decision makers they would prefer Thomas not be around. Cap hit could be issue but "conduct detrimental" clause provides potential avenue for relief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, has thomas become average enough that the ravens rather try to get out of his contract and lose him? ALthough it does say something that (some of) his teammates dont really seem to like him.

Hard to say He wanted to come to Dallas since he was a Seahawk, Cowboys lollygagged when he was a FA and he ended up jumping at the big offer from the Ravens Don't know how much he has left, but if's hes unhappy in Baltimore, AB wrote the playbook on how to get out and still get paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is paying him close to what he has locked in, and hes been pretty honest about wanting to get paid the type of money hes making now.

A lot of players don't actually care about the superbowl, the playoffs, or actually winning Most just want to get paid, and do as little work as possible, while trying to secure the biggest contract they can 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 32 million guaranteed when he signed last year. Not bad for 1 year work, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if they release him for "Conduct detrimental to the team", which is exactly what they will claim if they release him. I'd rather ship him to Houston for 3 1st-round picks, personally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can "Claim" that all they want AB still got paid from both the Raiders and the Patriots Hence "AB wrote the Playbook" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he's smart. Just look at the clown show that was him and his brother But he can look over at AB and say, "worked for him" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like BoB would bring in a character concern like that. BoB is an idiot, but he doesn't tolerate stuff like this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKSteeler Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Ravens knew what they were getting when they signed Thomas. He's done nothing to warrant a conduct detrimental to the team charge. It would just be a way for a team to get out of a mistake they made in free agency. They should be on the hook for the guarantees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
