Inject this mother****er into this defensive veins directly

Thomas with the pick today...

Veach needs to pursue him aggressively but don’t get bent over. They’re gonna want rid of him one way or another. Don’t give in to their demands.

Yes!

Please trade for him, Veach!!!

I think it might be worth getting bent over at this point

Yea as opposed to getting bent over every week.

Only 600 more posts until Veaxh trades for him!

LET'S GO!!

Well, if the alternative is drafting Breeland Speaks or Dorian O'Daniel, I'd rather just give up the picks. This team can't draft on defense.

He will only come here if Sutton is dead.

Agreed.

I wasn't to hot about signing him until the 2cnd half gut punch from this defense.

If we could sign him for 2-3 years and get what's left in his tank then I say go for it.

The time is NOW to go all in with this historic offense.

Mahomes on his rookie contract key players on offense in their prime and healthy.

Veach must capitalize by fixing the defense as much as possible before the trade deadline.

I agree.

Everyone says that you have to keep building for the future but the reality is we will never have an offense like the one we have right now again. Maybe 2019 too, that’s it.

Go for it all.

I wonder if Veach would do it without a new contract in place, or if he tries to work out a conditional deal. But if it's true that Dallas has already offered a 2nd, Seattle won't go for that.

If Thomas wants to, he can demand Dallas or nothing.

**** it.

Let's trade one 2nd round pick for Earl Thomas, and see if Arizona will take the other for Patrick Pederson.

ALL IN.

Yep. Especially now with Peters potentially out the rest of the year.

Get Thomas now and that’s (presumably) one less need next offseason.

Yeah you use money on him, but they could then lock in on front 7 primarily and CB for the draft.

I’m all in on this idea now.

We can win a ****ing SB with Thomas, Berry, and Sorensen down the stretch. Go for it.

Different era so not an exact apples/apples comparison, but see Marino’s epic rookie season with the Dolphins. I remember a lot of Miami fans assuming that would be the start of several Super Bowl appearances/championships with Marino, but it was not to be.

Especially in today’s NFL with salary cap realities and the window of salary cap flexibility with Mahomes on his rookie contract, the Chiefs have to capitalize.

This defense will never be really good by any means BUT if you replace their current safety group with EB and Earl, I mean... that’s the best safety group in the league.

Let’s do the damn thing.

I would hate to play in this scheme. No one likes backing up all the time like the French in WWII. Then you get a motivational talk from a senior citizen with dementia.

Longshot? shortshot? at least we gotta shot!

Is Patrick on the market?

Let's GOOOOOOOOOO

We need someone to create some turnovers.

Well they are a terrible team and by the time they're any good he'll be an aging player with a huge contract..probably be best if they could get something for him.

'15 Royals went all in

Look what happened.

Champs

THIS!!!!

I'm cool if/or not we get Earl Thomas I assume it be like getting Johny Cueto for a year and win it all but he maybe high cost and we could just hold pat and do this through the draft and build a dynasty one for the ages.

Meh, doubt it happens.

With his cap number you'd have to give him a new contract for it to work.

Only like 569 moor posts till he signs!

They can afford him if they cut Sorensen

SHUSH

800 posts to get him signed?

You could do some restructuring to make it work...

He'll be 30 in May and wants a long term deal. Not happy with his $8.5M base salary this year. (Last year of his current contract.) About to be fined by Seahags for missing practice. Openly asking another team to trade for him. Smart money says he won't land with the Chiefs.

Maybe but he knows if he goes to a Superbowl and makes some plays he could get another 10 mil on that last contract.

I WILL POST AS MUCH AS IT TAKES

Smart money says stfu!!!!

I see the lack of interest on the Chiefs part. By most accounts, Seattle wants a lot. The Chiefs aren't going to want to give up the store for a rent-a-player. And I doubt they want to sign a soon-to-be 30 player to a mega contract. Not with the vacuum of EB's contract sucking on the salary cap. I have no idea how Thomas would respond to a trade with the Chiefs. But based on his current behavior, he doesn't seem like a team player. And I'm pretty sure Andy isn't going to mess up the locker room karma & current win streak with a potential malcontent.

If he's a FA after the year, the lulz @ posters offering a 2. Just lulz

Follow your mother's lead and ...

Here's a question. Who'll be ready to play first, Berry or Sorensen? If something doesn't happen soon, it just might be Dirty Dan. I wouldn't give up more than a 2nd and maybe 6th or 7th and only if we have a reasonable 3 year deal in place. We've already got too much money tied up in aging/broke players.

Pretty sure if you make that deal you are signing him to a new deal.

I don't see the Chiefs signing him a deal, this would be a rental.

And Seattle would probably get a 3rd or 4th round comp pick for him so they definitely want a second I'd say.

Wha kind of deal is a 29 year old safety looking for?

Now this I can really get behind. Go all MLB on that ass.

The same type of deal Berry was looking for probably..tons of guys make more than him now so that's his issue.

Exactly.

If the Chiefs are merely showing interest, then I think an extension is inevitable. He has been a headache for the Seahawks this year and it’s all because they won’t give him an extension. If we trade for him and don’t extend him, we are essentially trading for Seattle’s headache... I’d be willing to bet that any team showing interest, has intentions of signing him to an extension... otherwise, they will be trading for a year of butthurt and drama.

The guy does deserve what he's asking for, Seattle has a ton of money and won't pay him. He's been an elite player forever.

If we wanted a Seattle safety we should have kept Bradley McDougald, when we had him!

I'm not sure we can afford the Earl Of Whack.

Wish we could, though.

Similar structure as the Watkins deal is fine.

Low cap hit year 1, medium cap hit year 2 ($12 million), big cap hit year 3 ($17 million) with a way out

Hell yeah...a second team all pro just last year! Which means he was 1st team all pro 3 times between 2010-2016 (and 2nd team all pro another one of those years). There is still has in the tank here.

The Chiefs gain something like 18 million back of dead money thats on the books this year, if you are walking away on Bailey Houston and Ford which is likely you can sign Thomas to a 4 or 5 year deal and be fine.

Matter of fact it's probably the smart thing to do because he's likely to be productive longer than Berry. So you still have a vet leader when you walk on Berry in 2 years.

I’ve been wondering about how they free up the money...I think we may end up trading a player to them along with a pick...

You ask team hero Eric Berry to restructure his contract...either that or you ask Kelce to do it since he is in no danger of being cut anytime soon and his number is pretty big this year..Fisher is the other option of doing one.

That's really the only way you could make it happen. Heavy guaranteed dollars up front, too.

No thank you!!!

Thomas's game should age well as a safety in the mold of Eric Weddle, Ed Reed and Charles Woodson into his thirties. I think it would be a good investment.

I need some work on learning this contractual stuff.

You don’t think there’s a chance we trade one of our OLB’s? Is it possible we trade Ford or Houston and roll with Speaks, Kpass and Ford/Houston and whoever? Would they trade Allen Bailey?

That’s what I was saying earlier. Hell Woodson was like 39-40 when he retired. Thomas is 29...

No. Trading Bailey isn't helpful, there's nothing behind him and he's in his last year.

For a restructure you simply look for a guy with a huge cap number and you can push some money to the end by paying it to him now. If you want to cut a guy soon you don't do it..but if you say know for a fact that Travis Kelce is going to be here for 6 more years and you will likely sign him again after you restructure him and don't worry about it.

You're basically just pushing his cap hit into the future, you don't do that for a guy you want to get rid of though.

Ahhh ok, that makes sense. Thank you.

Yes!

Just get it done.

Thomas with the int. Damn

can we get that guy please

thanks

2 Picks for Thomas.

Earl Thomas, still a great player.

The price is going up.

Maybe he's playing balls out because he wants someone to go damn that dude has still got it.

I mean after watching our defense, I could watch Ray Lewis play in a retirement home celebrity game and say "damn that dude has still got it." :D

Sure!

And the dude had a streak where he played 107 straight regular season games... So apparently, he’s pretty durable... 29 isn’t old for him.

I just find it hard to believe we’re willing to invest that much into our safety group.

Dude has 2 picks today.

Yea well that other safety we have probably should be cut in 2 years...he isn't durable at all.
