If Earl Thomas would have just played it cool, he would have been a Cowboys, but him being openly thirsty to be traded to Cowboys hasn’t sat well with Seahawks.
The Seahawks have engaged in trade talks with teams, including the Cowboys, about Thomas, but the Kansas City Chiefs have emerged as a candidate if a deal is made before the Oct. 30 trade deadline, sources said. Thomas sat out training camp and also irritated the Seahawks when he appealed personally to Cowboys coach Jason Garrett to trade for him after a Week 16 game in Dallas in 2017.
One league source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that a trade sending Thomas to Dallas is “a super-long shot.” Seattle already has turned down a second-round draft pick from the Cowboys, and wanted more for Thomas.
Some sources around the league believed that the Seahawks did not want to trade Thomas until after they played the Cowboys in their home opener Sunday.
Thomas has been skipping practices to pout and the Seahawks are considering fining him.
