as evident that no one's trading for Earl because of his extension demands.
And let’s not forget the reported first round pick the Seahawks are requesting in a trade. It’s not either/or. Both extravagant demands are obstacles to a trade.
The fact that the Seahawks reported trade demands are so high (a first round pick) could also be evidence that they plan to keep Earl Thomas beyond this season, via the franchise tag and/or contract extension.
I don't think it's the trade demands, I think it's the extension demands.
Why wouldn't a team rolling and competing for a SB want a player like Earl to anchor their defense, especially if they're in desperate need of a safety?
Multiple picks or a 1st rounder is not a large asking price............but his extension demands are.
So no, it's not worth a 1st for a one year, or now half year rental player. But it certainly would be worth a 1st rounder if you get Earl for the next 2-6 years.
