Earl Thomas‘ days in Seattle may be numbered, but just how numbered are they? Perhaps tomorrow?
That was apparently the what was said to the Seahawks defensive back by Cowboys coaches after today’s 24-13 Seattle win over Dallas. Thomas as we’ve known has been upset about his situation with the Seahawks and Jerry Jones’ crew as been his rumored destination for some time now.
Via Pro Football Talk:
“Yeah, of course, I heard chatter, people were coming up to me and saying a trade might happen,” Thomas said. “Even pregame, a couple Cowboys coaches came up to me, I don’t know if they were playing psychological games, but they were like, ‘You ready for the trade tomorrow?’”
Thomas had two interceptions and said that if it was his last game as a Seahawk, he’s happy with the way he’s going out.
“If it was, I had a damn good time. I’d go out like that if I had to,” Thomas said. “I just want to be appreciated. That’s it.”
Thomas also acknowledged that it’s possible the Cowboys’ coaches were joking.
“I don’t know if they were joking or serious or not. I was just minding my business and my routine and they came up and a couple guys said something,” Thomas said.
If true this is a blatant violation of NFL tampering rules and could result in some stiff penalty for the Cowboys. Nonetheless it makes for a good storyline to watch out for tomorrow.
