Earl Thomas

And maybe, just maybe - ET knows this. Hence the practice comment to put some urgency on the issue and possibly push his price down.

It makes sense long term maybe even more than it does now. It definitely allows more freedom in the 2019 draft. I mean, seriously. Berry and Thomas as starting safeties for the next 2 or 3 years, assuming we (finally) get some injury luck? At that point we're maybe one starting cornerback from being a team with legitimate super bowl potential for years. It's a legitimate window of opportunity.

The worst thing that can happen for us, in my humble opinion, is going into the draft next year (or any other...) with glaring needs. This is a chance to fix a hole for the forseeable future with a known quantity, much less a pro bowl known quantity. That is most definitely worth giving up some future draft value.

'course all this is probably moot. Would we really do this?

Absolutely.

We're not really dealing in absolutes here. Do you wait? Do you not wait? 1st rounder? 2nd rounder? There's a ton of variables and moving parts.

There's also 50/50 or great odds that the player never amounts to anything.

There's a 100% chance Earl Thomas is a an All-Pro.

Oooh Snap! Bell for Thomas trade? ...puts our offer to shame lol

The Seahawks would be morons if they did that. So you know....it'll probably happen.

Technically, the last time was Derrick Nnadi


FROSTY THE PEDANTIC ONE

Why would Seattle want Leveon?

If I'm the Chiefs, I let it play out some more in Seattle. In just 1 week the relationship has deteriorated to the point where it's all but irreparable.

I'm also pretty jaded from the recent high priced Chiefs vets getting hurt though.

The Seahawks just drafted a RB in the first round and Chris Carson did pretty well against the Cowboys so they really don't need a high priced RB. What they really need is WR help (and a new O coordinator).

The problem with that is just the time.

Ideally, you want Thomas in here ASAP to get accustom to the system and such.

Plus, the Chiefs are 3-0 right now and the Chargers are 1-2, but it's not near over yet.

The Chiefs would be wise to push hard and get the 1 seed if at all possible

Count me in for NOT bundling high draft picks for Earl. If there's any way to do this that doesn't include giving up more high picks, fine. Otherwise, stay with the long game, keep getting younger and build from there.

Either way, I don't see how the Chiefs can afford Earl without renegotiating existing contracts.

Meh. We've been just fine winning games without him so far and we beat the Chargers and Steelers already.
