Julius Thomas rumors...

[Veilside]

If this is true, we're running out of options. Andre Johnson or Jordan Cameron I guess.

Welp looks like he's off to the Jags.

Let's get a list of people that will look like fools if Thomas comes to visit Seattle next week.

For sharing some dirt on him? It's all for fun. We're talking about giving $8 million a year to a free agent. I think people should hear as much as they can and let them decide. This news on him could be true or could be complete BS. It could somewhere in the middle. Either case it's worth discussing.

I don't see this process much different than the draft. If this article came out about a college prospect you would have to include this in every scouting report as a possible red flag.

I'll tell you though if it's true and he's more about himself than a ring, I hope they don't sign him. I'll take my chances in FA or the draft.

It's a possible red flag, but people are using it as evidence that he's "not a team player". A rumor based on something a player said, that can be interpreted in different ways =/ evidence. He could have meant he's 90% close to being healthy enough to play. That's completely subjective anyways. Ridiculously silly.

But it is evidence that he's not a team player. As long as you believe the report is credible. Now should we view one player's opinion as the final and only needed evidence of truth? No, but there's no way to misinterpret what his teammate is saying:

"When asked if Julius Thomas was soft like some say, he said, ” where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”"

"“You have guys taking shots just to get through the half and this dude can’t even play with a minor sprain” one teammate told me. “You can’t win with guys like that,” he added."

"“Julius is here to get his money and get out,”"

I don't blame him for taking the money. Cash in while your hot. The best TEs last forever, he should get a shot at playing for a better team with his third contract.

I don't blame him either. If Seattle wants him, they should have to offer full value. None of that "come play in Seattle and win a ring but take a smaller contract". Nothing's guaranteed. Player's should always look out for their best interest. Talent wise, he's worth whatever he gets paid.

What I'm concerned about is that he's either soft or he doesn't love the game. The Broncos were playing for a Super Bowl and there's a chance here that he wasn't willing to sacrifice to be on the field with his teammates to help them win.

Because players cannot agree to any contracts officially until Tuesday. Doesn't mean he hasn't made up his mind though.

Rang is basically saying that Thomas hasn't made up his mind though...

 

[jake206]

Come on team Schneider....GoGoGo...

 

[Largent80]

This guy isn't going to sign here.

 

[dontbelikethat]

I would definitely not get my hopes up, seems like plenty of outlets saying he's going to be headed to JAX.

Careful what you say here, Largent... cacksman will add you to his "Fools List". :stirthepot:

Meh...replace the a in his name with an o.

Hasn't stopped everyone else from "unofficially" agreeing to a contract

I think you're right, but who knows.

Jax makes sense. His soft ass would want to be as far as possible from Kam Chancellor.

 

[kearly]

The deal Denver was rumored to offer him was $8M. If that is even correct, I'd bet that the guaranteed money wasn't very good. We can't go off a rumored contract offer for a basis on what he turned down.

Sure we can.

I knew the $8 million part from Denver, I just assumed the offer had an expiration date. Looks like Thomas won't regret a thing though (other than going from Denver to Jacksonville). If Jacksonville is in on him this early, he's going to get PAID.

Rumor has it is close to or above 10m.

Count me among those banking on Julius Thomas to sign with Jacksonville shortly after 4 p.m. on Tuesday. Hearing this could approach $10 million a year as well.

We have no idea how much guaranteed money Denver offered, therefore we have no idea if Thomas actually turned down a legit $8M/year offer.

We don't need Julius Thomas anyways. I say we trade a 2nd or 3rd round pick for John Carlson, bring Jeremy Stevens out of retirement and we should have our TE problems solved.
