Earl could be traded for a second round pick.

According to sources from Brock and Salk. Earl Thomas could be traded for a second round pick on Friday.

Anything "COULD" happen. Doesn't mean there's a realistic chance that it will happen though.

I'd like it if it's for a top 10-13 2nd. I never thought expecting a 1st for him was realistic. Don't get me wrong, I love Earl, but if you're Seattle, there's no way you can justify paying him what he wants at this point of his career. Better to get what you can now before it's too late.

One 2nd round pick is not worth it to me. Hope we do not settle for that.

I know this is not going to happen, so basically I'm saying I wouldn't trade him, but I'd only do that deal if it got me a 1st next year as well as a 2nd this year.

It could happen but at this point it's probably a 3 in 10 chance.

Maybe if it's both Cleveland's 2nd rounders............but everything I read is the Hawk's aren't coming down from their 1st and 3rd demand.

Witten just retired from the Cowboys clearing off more cap space, so maybe that's an indicator that the Cowboys are coming after Earl.

Big fan of Earl and I'll be sad to see him go, but if we're being serious with ourselves, it's best for our long term SB hopes if we look beyond just next year.

Just hope we use our picks well if he does go.

But he definitely WON'T be traded for a 2018 first round pick.

And unless there's some issue with him wanting to play in Seattle, then it's pretty lame. The way he plays, I'd expect him to be top 1-3 safety for at least the next three years.

Kinda hate to trade that known quality for only the possibility of a 2nd round rookie working out.

You never know, we could still trade him for a player that was selected by another team yesterday :twisted:

I would like it to be better than just the 50 the Cowboys hold. 2 and a three? High two would be good . Load of cash off the books.

A 2 and 3 this year would probably do it, and seems fair for both sides. Or, a 2 this year and a 2 next year.

I feel like with all our later round picks, we can get into the 2nd round this year.

So I'd rather gamble and hold onto Earl, franchise him and try and get a 1st for him next year........rather then settle for only a 2nd and 3rd this year.

Dude's a HOF safety still in his prime. Not getting a 1st for him would be tough for me to swallow.

Good points

GET IT DONE!!!!!

I guess I could stand this, but I hope we get more than a 2d for him.

Seattle hardly ever wins when we trade for or away players, at least in recent years. I think a mid-late 2nd and maybe a 5th is about the best they will bring in, although Thomas is worth so much more than that. If I'm being honest, I'm expecting Seattle to ship out Earl Thomas for less than most expect. Hoping for at least a 2nd and 3rd, but kind of expecting to receive a 3rd & 4th. Hope I'm wrong.

I agree, a 2nd and 3rd round pick this year would be decent. Dallas has the 50th and 81st picks. I'd say if they want to cough those up for ET we take them.

Yes but a HOFamer that the Seahawks FO is not going to be able to sign in 2019 when he becomes an UFA. No one is going to trade for him after next season because they'll just wait until he's on the market.
