I love Earl. Seeing him in another uniform would be like seeing Walter Jones in another uniform. Pay the man.

He is producing on the field because of his talent and that's his only way to present a resume to potential suitors. It has nothing to do with wanting to help this team. It's all about him and Lord knows, he needs to feed his family. :roll:
Interesting discussion point....has he??
Not so sure myself. By most accounts he looks and sounds like he has, but once Earl hit's the field it's pretty much game on and he knows just one speed. Point being....On Sundays he's not looking "checked out".
Again, he is producing because that's who he is as a player. He also is trying to prove to the NFL he is far from done.
None of his productivity is wanting to be a Seahawk. Kam is gone, Richard is gone. The LOB is done.
He. Wants. Out.

does feeelance = checked out. He almost costed us a TD, luckily the girl stepped out of bound. At this moment, Earl is out for for Earl. Whatever he could do to pad his stat.Seymour":7jcv7eou said:Aros":7jcv7eou said:If we can get a GOOD trade deal, you move him. He has mentally checked out as a Seattle Seahawk.

Believe me, Earl would find it in his hear to forgive everyone if we gave him his extension.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was the highest paid safety in the NFL when he took that contract. I call BS on that!
SpokaneHawks":3132fmy5 said:I'm not a Thomas fan and even I can see the impact he's having when he's on the field. I say pay the man. Why not? I know we are still paying some salaries of players that were forced into retirement but Sherman's gone, Bennett is gone, Kam and Avril are gone. Who are we paying? There must be money to blow on Thomas and still pay Russ!

An argument could be made that he cost us the first game. He only played about half the Defensive snaps, and when he was out, that was when Denver moved the ball best. He sat out plays because he missed the entire offseason by choice and wasn't ready for a full workload.
If he played like normal in that 1st game, I think it's likely the Hawks win that one.

we were 0-2 but still in the game. I doubt we're even in them without Thomas, and I doubt we win games against contenders this year without Thomas.
As long as he shows up on Sunday, let him play out the year and walk in free agency. We do not have a viable replacement on the roster. We might next year.

Seymour wrote 0-3 without Thomas.........and I was reminding him that we were 0-2 with Earl, so whatever point he's trying to make doesn't hold a lot of water.
Earl's a great player, and obviously we're a better defense with him, than without him. But the reason we won Sunday was not because of Earl, it's because our offense finally played well, ran the ball and didn't turn the ball over.
