After a fight with teammate Chuck Clark on Friday, security Earl Thomas was sent home.
Now the Ravens will share ways for the better, as the team plans to deal or release the Pro Bowl defensive back, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning. However, expected his time in Baltimore to end after just one season.
It is more likely that Thomas will be released, Rapoport added, although it is not impossible that he would be traded. However, with $ 10 million on his contract and the added complications of COVID-19, trading would be difficult.
Among possible landing sites for Thomas, Rapoport named the Cowboys because they had long been hopeful of bringing in Thomas, who played high school and college football in Texas. Although Dallas probably would not trade for Thomas, the Cowboys were able to get him out well when he was released.
Thomas’ expected departure from Baltimore comes two days after he got into a fight at practice with Clark. Subsequently, the Ravens sent Pro Bowler home for the seventh time and told him not to return for practice on Saturday or Sunday. The Ravens practice was set to begin on Sunday at 1 pm ET.
On Saturday, Thomas posted a statement that included his statement about how the Clark altercation came to be: “A mental error on my part. A busted cover I tried to explain calmly met with built-up aggression caused me to to become a teammate. “
The social media post also contained team practice video and was eventually deleted.
This is set on Thomas’ second infamous departure from a team, as his days with the Seahawks – which included eight seasons, three All-Pro selections and a Super Bowl win – closed him off the sidelines. of Seattle while he was disqualified after sustaining a broken leg. It is also not the first time he is expected to have an incident with a teammate, as Mike Garafolo of NFL Network last year referred to an altercation with defensive lineman Brandon Williams.
Although it has yet to be determined if it is through cut or exchange, it appears that the days of Thomas in Baltimore are over and after his last offense he is a Raven Nevermore.
