Honestly Thomas’ unfortunate end in Baltimore came quickly Sunday with the Ravens hurtfully slashing the former All-Pro safety behavior.
The release means that two of the most respected organizations in the NFL – Baltimore and Seattle – have given up on Thomas over the past two years. The moves by the Ravens and Seahawks are likely to give some front-office breaks if you consider whether the 31-year-old veteran will add to their 2020 rosters.
However, one of his former teammates with the Legion of Boom, Richard Sherman, is of the opinion that the team that Thomas draws on will get a motivated playmaker.
“It’s really sad how things turned out for a man who is like a brother to me, “Sherman tweeted Sunday.” Just know that when (Earl Thomas) gets back on the grass, he’ll be out to make a point! Still one of the best in this league and I look forward to proving it again. “
Although twice as numerous as Thomas’ roller-coaster, Sherman made his own comeback after a split with Seattle and an injury, returning as one of the top corners in the NFL.
Thomas struggled for spells last season in Baltimore, looked slow to start the year, and was part of several busted coverage in the sequel. Even as he crawls in age, however, Thomas still possesses the talent to be a difference maker in the secondary wherever he lands.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the seven-time Pro Bowler gathered in the interest of the Cowboys, 49ers and Texans, per sources informed about the situation.
Whatever team Thomas joins, former teammates like Sherman believe it gets the right version of the player we were used to seeing during the heyday of the LOB era in Seattle.
