ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Earl Thomas a longshot to be a Chief

Chris Mortenson releases a report that the Chiefs have re-ignited trade talks for Earl Thomas. Or something like that, after reports that the Thomas/Seattle situation has gotten worse and he's not attending meetings/practice regularly.

Some other talking head confirms that the Chiefs were having talks with Seattle for Thomas back in the offseason.

Andy Reid gives a blank, "That's not where we're at" comment regarding the rumors.

A bunch of Rando's on the internet are floating rumors of Chiefs 2nd/3rd picks for Thomas, 4 yr 55mill.

You forgot

???????

For a dude that is not keeping up with this thread, can you all summarize where we are at right now?

The Chiefs have traded their 2025 7th rounder for Earl Thomas and 2012 Richard Sherman

If rando reeruns report of a Houstin restructure is accurate, this probably takes a couple of days. That's a ton of moving parts.

Thank god our front office didn't listen to the 'too risky' bullshit when we drafted Mahomes.

I wonder if Mellinger cites anybody in that claim that we're interested.

And by I wonder, I mean somebody read it for me and tell me.

Jesus. He's basing the argument on "2 2nd round picks is too much for a rental." Yeah, no ****ing shit there, sherlock.

The thing is that Earl Thomas should be considered both a short term and long term fix. He's probably got at least 5-6 years and maybe even a full decade of productivity left in him. It's not like he's a CB.

Sam Mellinger he knows what fan base he is talking to, a conservative one that doesn't like to take risky chances.
