According to Wikipedia:
Even though Thomas had made seven of the last nine Pro Bowls, he had developed a reputation for being "uncoachable." According to a number of his former Seahawks teammates and coaches, the Seahawks had been able to manage the situation until 2017, when Chancellor suffered a career-ending neck injury (he did not play at all in 2018 and retired the following spring) and Sherman had his season prematurely ended by a ruptured Achilles tendon. In what proved to be a warning sign, Thomas put out feelers to the Cowboys, which was dismissed at the time as "Earl being Earl." By 2018, he frequently refused to practice, ostensibly to protect his value in free agency.
While in Baltimore, Thomas never really became a part of the Ravens' locker-room culture. He was often fined for skipping meetings or showing up late, and left the team on his own at least twice. During the 2020 preseason, Thomas became increasingly surly and withdrawn, frequently skipping meetings and walk-throughs. The altercation with Clark happened in part because Clark believed Thomas would not have blown the coverage had he taken part in walk-throughs. According to The Athletic, Thomas' reputation for being uncoachable and a poor teammate was a mere reason why no other team picked him up after the Ravens released him. Reportedly, the Houston Texans were thinking about signing him, but decided against it after several players let it be known that they did not want him on the team.

It's still shocking even today that dried up bloody gloves didn't fit his hands......

He should send Marcia a Christmas present every year.
Johnnie gets and deserves a lot of credit, but Marcia served him up softballs throughout that trial.
