We have an extra 2nd

What the hell would you not do this for?

I agree with that however he's probably trying to hedge his bets on both sides.

He has an extra 2nd round pick because he decided to trade away his best CB. If he doesn’t use that pick to help out the secondary....then people are going to think he’s a moron.

I agree with you but some GM's literally think draft picks are more valuable than anything, **** NE traded Chandler Jones for a 2, is there anyone here that wouldn't trade a 2 for Chandler Jones?

Trade the Rams pick. Basically swap Marcus Peters for Earl Thomas

I already am. Thomas should be on this team right now.

If he doesn’t trade that 2nd and then proceeds to draft a bunch of project players....then Veach can go **** himself.

Veach is trying to see if he can get a bargain as it gets closer to the trade deadline.

Just give up the 2nd..

He’ll get undercut if he’s not careful by another team. Just do the deal now if that’s all they want.

Yeah, just give up the pick and let's move on. It's a dangerous game to wait.

Patriots have had a lot of shitty drafts

Ya, I hope he doesn’t get undercut

Veach is playing with fire. Our 2nd round picks aren’t even that valuable. They very well may be #31 and #32.

The Seahawks aren’t budging.

Another shittier team will come a long and offer a better 2nd round pick and we’ll be ****ed.

Only way this is excusable is if Thomas is telling teams he's only signing a long term deal with Dallas.

A 2nd for an All Pro and the deal isn't done ROFL Suuuuure

Yeah and then Veach will have to give up more than a 2nd to get him.

He’s a moron if this is all true.

I pointed out earlier, some teams have this stupid view of how valuable draft picks are, NE has repeatedly traded all pros for chump change.

I'm PISSED OFF!!!

Yep, exactly as I expected - compensation is the issue. We'll pay ET if we can agree on that.

The Seahawks supposedly declined the Cowboys' 2nd and that pick is going to be worse than ours. I'm not sure I completely believe this report, but if it is accurate, that's ****ing annoying. I bet they want to see how the D does with Berry first, but **** that, you get a player as good as ET if he's available regardless.

Think of it like this:

Chiefs trade:
Marcus Peters
2018 6th round pick (John Franklin Myers?)

Chiefs get:
Earl Thomas
2018 4th round pick. (Armani Watts?)

Assuming you can extend Thomas, it seems pretty good to me.

if it really is just one 2nd round pick like that report indicates then **** you Brett Veach. It should have been done at the beginning of the week and he would be playing against Denver.

Ian Rapoport said Seattle is seeking 2 2nds

Rappaport saying they want 2 2nd round picks

The Seahawks aren’t coming any lower. They have the perfect scenario. They can continue to fine gun and make money off his contract back and he still plays in games.

Just saw that. Veach is doing the right thing in this case.

So no one actually knows, then.

Nobody is giving that at this point of the year.

2 2nds isn't all that bad.

I don’t think Seattle really wants to trade him

These teams have no idea how to handle these situations. Earl, leveon etc.

done

Alright, I see what Veach is doing now then.

Chiefs are in the drivers seat. They have the most ammo.

Explains why they turned Dallas’s one 2nd down.


With how KC has drafted in round 2 lately, I think I’d do 2nd and 2020 conditional 3

Until someone offers a first. But yeah 2 2nds is pretty steep. I'd wait then out.

Take our 2nd and a conditional 3rd next year and be ****ing happy.

Especially when one considers who the Chiefs have drafted in the past two 2nd rounds....:shrug:

2nd and 4th

Oh, how we'd really miss the next Tanoh/Armani :rolleyes:

Don’t have a 4th

It does seem like they may end up moving him though. The problem asking that much is he needs a new contract as well.

If someone is offering a 2nd plus, take it and be done

Seattle wants 2 2s for Thomas

Steelers want 2nd and a good player for Bell

Steep asking prices

No doubt the hangup is the contract negotiations.

Earl wants the highest safety contract in league history. To me, he’s worth it. He’s been durable, dependable and is a game changer.

Mahomes and this offense are going to force opposing teams to throw it a lot and keep up with our scoring.

Having a difference making ball hawk at safety is a great investment.

No one will give anything close to 2 2nds. If they're not budging, they probably don't want to trade him and are just putting on appearances for Thomas to shut him up.

You nailed it

Apparently you're not paying attention.

If KeesINT lights up KC's Secondary, that may change.

It's fine to play hard ball. Why should they be in any rush to trade him? Might as well get some elite play and then move him at the deadline. If they don't do that and lose him to UFA, now THAT is mismanagement.

I'd bet anything they'll take the best offer they have on the table on Oct 30.

Guy from the Watkins signing just told me it’s safe to start getting excited

Talking about mamba? He DM you?

ESPN reporting it's just one 2nd round pick

Replied to me on Twitter. How do I embed from my iPhone?

Depends on what reports you lend credibility to.

Just copy paste the text.

Because of the recent articles?

My friend who knows a guy who knows how to use twitter says that Earl Thomas could be coming to KC or he might go to another team or just stay in Seattle.

I'd put at least a little bit of stock into what he says. Had 3 years 48 million for Watkins way before it was public.

Burst?

I do, I just didn't know if he said that because of all the recent media reports on this trade.

NONE of them say it's about $; they all say SEA isn't budging in compensation. Don't forget, teams need to agree to that before SEA will allow them to even TALK to ET, so how can anyone think the issue is $? That literally doesn't make sense.

There have been reports that KC has already been in those contract talks.

Also, Schefter says the compensation is a 2nd for Earl.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2...on-earl-thomas

It doesn't.

You're right. They don't usually let players talk money until compensation is agreed on

If we haven't agreedon trade compensation they aren't letting us talk to him about money details.

I suppose draft position might be why Seattle doesn't want to accept just a second from us?

I remember reading a few days ago that KC was talking contract with Earl, but Schefter said an hour ago that KC didn’t want to trade a 2, so those reports were probably wrong. Schefter is 100% credible.

Don't know if I ever shared this story but...

I saw Earl Thomas at a grocery store in Seattle couple months . I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I’m up to 80/20 that KC gets him

Who is @RedMamba707? Sorry if dumb question, I dont do Twitter.

The more I think about it, the more I’d be inclined to give them a second and fourth for ET.

That would mean that we turned Peters and a 6th round pick into Earl Thomas.

If Peters was not going to re-sign with us, then that sounds like a great deal. We also know that there were potential locker room concerns with Peters. He also didn’t have a flawless game, even though he was an elite ball hawk.

Seems nice.

He’s the guy who broke the Sammy signing down to the contract years and money

Nice pasta, bro.

Deals off. No Milky Way lovers on my team.

Represent that KitKat or get out of town.

Twix mother****er. What kind of person are you anyway?

Thank you!

Tyreek Hill yelled out, “There you go! There you go.” Justin Houston gave a look of pleasant surprise. Chris Jones yelled out, “We got an [expletive] squad now.” And before Earl Thomas hit the locker room door, current NFL great Patrick Mahomes hugged him and said, “We look so different.”

Milky Way Midnight Dark candy bars are awesome. Get off my lawn BossChief :)

Bro you really need a new Avatar

KC's urgency is far more greater(SB run) than Seattle's for sure at this point and I agree they will take the best offer on Oct.30.

COUNT ON IT !! Emmanuel, Thomas and Lindsay will make this a close game for sure unfortunately.:rolleyes:

Seattle sitting back 'knowing' our 2ndary will continue to wane even more as our offense continues to light it up. Seattle sitting in the catbird seat i.e. to ET and our desperate need at safety for a SB run.:shrug:
