I agree.I don't even think Earl would come back if he could...
Hopefully they pay him handsomely too!

A lot like the 2018 Rams defense....sounded great back in Aug, ended up being middle of the pack.We got the money, Earl Thomas with Aaron Donald in front of him, sounds great

ET is still an awesome player, but I think at this point you have to view him as a player who isn't all that durable at this stage of his career. I guess 2017 wasn't too bad with 14 games played, but he's been injured each of the past 3 seasons. Great talent, but buyer beware.

Don't the Rams have less cap space than the Cowboys? Why would Earl go to the Rams over the team he's already stated he wants to play for?
Honestly, with Goff looking to make big money the year after next (even his 5th year option would cost north of $28 million) and Earl looking for what Cooks is currently making. If that happens, the 2020 Rams would have over half their payroll in 5 players and the next 5 taking up nearly 20% more. With the Rams situation and young talent getting paid - I don't think you really want Earl eating that much money.
Granted, that's what he's looking for - doesn't mean that's what he'll get.
I broke Rams cap situation down in the NFL forum, basically they have 40 million next year, a few moves and it will be 65 million. With no big free agent worth keeping for more than 5 per
