This sends a shitty message.

Sit out, hang your teammates out to dry, but as long as you're there by week #1, you'll play. Thompson must be pissed.

Maybe we should take out Doug Baldwin too. Seeing how he didn't play a pre-season game. McCovy & Moore must be pissed.

Thompson is dealing with a couple injuries and his lack of speed was exposed during the preseason.

There's a big drop off between Earl Thomas and just about any other safety in the NFL. Very thankful to have him to start the season.

Do you don’t want the best players playing? :roll:

I think there's a difference from Big Walt to Thomas, since Earl has two years left on his deal. Baldwin didn't play because of injury.

I love ET, he's one of my favorite players...I'm just talking about the message. Good hell, people on here were ready to jettison him for a 2nd round pick a few days ago...

I just like to think that Pete's message of always competing is something sincere, so players who are told that they get a shot if they show up and take part, will not begin feeling the insincerity of a mantra not kept.

Different situation.

And you meant to type "too," meaning "also."

This is the final year of Earl's deal.

I dont know... I see the message that they gave players who reported a new deal. The team got what they wanted, Earl didn't.

First time ever posting, long time site creeper.

"You play to win the game!"

ET until we trade him or that contract is up.

Apparently its different because officially Walt wasnt under contract. Even though he had to sign the franchise tag for Seattle to do anything with him at the time.

If you did a poll, I’m pretty sure most were just mad at Earl for what he pulled with the Cowboys. Otherwise, sitting out in a league where front offices just want to use you up and spit you out, even with a career ending injury is just business. NFL fans need to look at front office decisions the same way they look at player decisions; cut throat and ruthless.

Thomas’ holdout pissed me off, but only because of how he handled it

Guy thinks Thomas has 2 years in his contract...Dont expect him to know anything about Walter Jones hated being franchise tag...He miss preseason even missed a couple games...Same for Kam...Yet Thomas in his final contract, tried to call the SEahawks bluff but failed. Reported in time to play game 1...People still butthurt over Dallas.

Crying fans needs to stop taking things personal. If his performance is still there, why hate on him.
