NFL.com says ask for Earl Thomas is TWO 2nd rounders

hawknation2018 · Sep 30, 2018

If a team wants to pry Earl Thomas from the Seahawks, they'll have to pay.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Seattle's price in any trade talks for Thomas is two second-round picks, according to a source informed of the situation.

Rapoport had mentioned one 2nd rounder before; this is the first mention of two. He also said Dallas offered one 2nd round pick before the season and implied that offer was rescinded by the Cowboys.

If true, such a high ask seems extremely unlikely to be met. I think this indicates that the Seahawks’ “Plan A” is to franchise and/or extend Earl Thomas after this season and would only part with him for an exorbitant reward.

I was all for a trade. I like the Mcdougal, Thomas, Flowers, Griffen DBs......It could be a great unit. I would up the annie.

Two 2nd seems ok, I was thinking more like a 1st + 3rd. Jerruh was simply insulting Earl with his low ballin' may be Quinn or Andy may go for it?

Rumor was first round pick before

Lords of Scythia · Sep 30, 2018

A first round at least, or don't do it!

GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve2222 · Sep 30, 2018

Two 2nds is almost equivalent to a first.

2nd and 3rd would be good too... considering ET will get paid as well.

Well good to know they’re standing their ground, rather than being fleeced like in past trades.

The decision is simple. If hawks can return to the Bowl within Earls next contract term, then extend him. Otherwise make a trade happen.

I thought I was hearing just one 2nd round pick on the radio this morning and I was thinking that was BS. Glad to hear it's two.

ET doesn't realize he sabotaged not only us, but himself as well when he pulled that stunt. Now everyone thinks they can get him for a song because he is unsatisfied here.

Well one of these rumors is off-ESPN via Schefter reporting this morning Seattle is demanding 1 2nd round pick.

Or you could say Earl has been a Smooth Criminal this year?

These things are just click bait. I doubt anyone but John knows what he wants for Thomas. And it likely varies depending on the team. He likely wouldn’t trade him in the division for less than a 1st and a 3rd. Likely would take a couple 2nd rounders from Cleveland or the Jets.

I just don't understand the nfl business model i guess.

How in the crapping hell does any team in need of secondary help, which is many from my purview, not buy one of the greatest free safeties of all time for a 2nd rounder?. It must be fitting the salary in to their cap hit as well as the cost of the pick?.

Because straight up at the face value Earl vs projected value of 2nd rounder seems like an insane value for a team with the need.

If that was the case he would have been traded already. Lazy journalism.

Yep. Cowboys fans are suckers for stories like this.

If your aim is to win now sure, if he was younger sure (though it never would have reached this point with us)...

Nobody is doubting his ability at the moment, but people are worried about his ability to keep it up over the next few years , his desire to play (at this level) after getting his next contract, not to mention the huge cap he'll eat up for those years.

How does this injury affect his contract situation now?
