Seahawk fans you can breathe a sigh of relief it has been reported that Earl Thomas will report to the team. The Seahawks defense is no longer a big question mark as one of the best makes his return.
Seahawks management didn’t back down nor did they give in with a bogus trade for the All-Time great free safety. The Dallas Cowboys offered a second round pick for Thomas and the Seahawks weren’t impressed. The game of chicken was well played by Seattle, especially since NFL players don’t have much leverage. The back and forth feud between Thomas and the Seahawks ended with Thomas conceding defeat. At this point Thomas had no option but to report, he was losing a lot of money by holding out and missing game checks were not an option.
The CBA has to make changes because holdouts in the NFL are stupid and it usually always comes down to the player getting paid or missing out on a lot of money. In Earl’s case, it was missing out on a lot of money although he’s worth securing the bag.
Nobody saw this coming, for the most part, analyst and journalists, believed Thomas was as good as gone and the tables have turned. Remember in 2015 the Seahawks didn’t raise a finger when Kam Chancellor held out. He too folded and reported to the team. During his holdout, Kam bolstered millions of dollars in fines and he couldn’t afford to miss game checks.
