Seahawks in Talks with Cowboys Regarding Earl Thomas

[boogiewithstu2007]

Dallas will fuck up their first anyway.

I'd do it.

But first I'd try to trade Dez....

They'd have to have the best safety in football in order to give him away. They don't.

Who's better ?

 

[tducey]

Earl Thomas would be a good fit with Dallas or any team really. If it takes a 1st to get him then that'll be worth it.

 

[Across The Field]

Earl is the best safety in football, I stand by that, I've watched him since day 1, he's ridiculous ...

I know you're a superfan, but he was rated as the 9th best safety in football last year. His days of being top dog are behind him.

Harrison Smith
LaMarcus Joyner
Adrian Amos
Landon Collins

Off the top of my head

I disagree, no one covers ground like Earl, no one has the instincts of Earl, no one goes sideline to sideline like Earl reading play's ... He's the best and it's got nothing to do with me being a super-fan, I watch the guy play every week, I see what he does every week ...

And you see it through the eyes of the superfan. What you don't do is watch the other guys I mentioned or any other safeties for that matter. Saying what you're saying just shows off your bias. You watching him every week doesn't mean he's the best, you're not a voice of authority on the topic. You're just a fan.

I'd take the 9th best safety in the NFL in Dallas.

That's a much higher rank than their current safety unit.

Not if you're giving up a 1st rounder and could possibly only have him for 1 year.

 

[PDay8810]

Then Dallas won't be getting Earl ... Seattle isn't just gonna give the best safety in football away ...

sure they will....Earl knows the Seattle ride is over and he'd love to get back to the great state of Texas

 

[PDay8810]

not really....Dallas drafts have been very good. Taco is to be determined and Jones is playing out of position.

Sure I would.

 

[PDay8810]

you're right but if Dallas gets Earl, I'm pretty darn sure he'd resign with Dallas.
Any other team and I'd expect Earl to work his way to Texas a year from now.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I've been less than impressed with both of those.

I had high hopes for Jones.

I think they shot their wad with the O line....

 

[Across The Field]

Sure I would.

Wouldn't help you if he only stayed for a year. But ok.

Does Dallas have that kinda cap room?

Being a Niner fan, I HATE the seahawks, so I'm not seeing through the eyes of a fan.

Imo, Thomas spent 3 or 4 years as the unquestionably best safety in the NFL. 8 years in the NFL. 6 PBs, 5 times either 1st or 2nd team All Pro. He is still amazing. He's still a top 3 safety in the NFL by any rational analysis, and a good argument can be made that he's still the best. From his play in 2017, he'll remain a top 3 safety for another 2-3 years imo.

Does Dallas have that kinda cap room?

No. And they sure as hell won't next year when both Zack Martin and D.Lawrence will need gigantic contracts.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Would take any PFF rating about safeties with a great deal of skepticism. Can get in the neighborhood, but they can have some voodoo like results.

 

[PDay8810]

Romo is off the books next season. Witten will retire after this coming year. I think they will

More than one team in Texas...and there may be more money elsewhere.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Like others have said, he'd be staying and I agree.
