Unreal how this is playing out.

Pete Carroll said Earl Thomas has a lower leg fracture

Really don't know that. I mean we give him a better shot at winning and as always in these matters- money talks.

He is from Texas.

I don't think he cares about winning anymore. Could be wrong but if I were him I'd just go to my preferred destination and ride off into the sunset. If he can even still play.

Welp, he's a REAL longshot to be a Chief now.

I love him flipping off the Seattle sideline as he was being carted off the field.

After this injury, I think Earl Thomas is a longshot to be a Chief.

Hey... The Chiefs will get to save a couple draft picks now.

Oh. Welp.

Guessing I have an idea on the other team

Draft another Kpass or Breeland Speaks with those...

Who gives a **** about next year. I only care about ET as it relates to this year.

If indeed he can't play, we should still try to be aggressive. Unfortunately there aren't many options. Ugh.

Sounds like it's in the same spot that Kam Chancellor accidentally hit and broke. Maybe pugs was on to something with the hairline fracture.

And cap space to be used later. The one silver lining.

But they’ve gotta get good players with said picks. Whether it be via trade or selection. No projects.

If this was in fact the case—we very well may have dodged a bullet as the injury was more than likely a ticking time bomb.

No more KPass/Breeland Speaks picks. :shake:

IIRC he thought about retirement the time he broke it before...

I think that was the replay I saw when I confused it earlier. You can probably find it on youtube and look for yourself.

Wrap it up and get to KC, Earl!

News link to read?

Not gonna find anyone else out there if his caliber

Yeah. That's definitely what I saw. And the injuries are in the same place. Lower left leg.

Could've signed Reid for cheap, and had Berry, Parker, Sorensen, and Reid as the safety rotation in the defensive backfield - Reid could've clamped down the SS spot, Parker and Sorensen could rotate the FS, and Berry can actually play both SS and FS...

I don't trust Veach on that front.

Two 2nd round picks in two years at the same position who barely see the field outside of special teams.

That's pretty glaring. And honestly, you can throw Dorian O'Daniel right on that shit pile of "potential" as well.

Either he drafts some guys who ****ing play or he can honestly get ****ed just like Dorsey did.

Yep. This next draft is do or die.

so...that sucks

Damn it guys

We wind up with more Breeland Speaks/K-pass BS and he will get ****ed like Dorsey did.

They'll love Veach in Buffalo. Or he'll be a perfect lackey for Gruden in Vegas.

Yes.

Well that is the end of this speculation.
This is what Thomas was afraid of and why he wanted a new deal.

I don’t know why they don’t just start Armani Watts and play O’Daniel. How can they be any worse than Murray/T. Smith?

Let them take their lumps. D sucks anyways.

#Seahawks star S Earl Thomas suffered a clean, lower leg break but no ligament damage and no displacement, source said. Not nearly as bad as a ligament tear would’ve been. He should be 100% by the Super Bowl... and free agency.

So.... throw a late rounder their way?

Damn, a broke leg? Can you play after that heals? I don't think so.

Sorry for the repost.

Not deleting. **** you.

Sounds like he could be back before Berry. Get it done!

Yup. Marty/Gunther started 2 rookie safeties in 96

Nah at this point no thanks

I do think the chiefs were pretty close to having a deal done

Boy it would come out to be a bad deal if they had a deal done and waited or something

ROFL

What do you mean?

He's probably still better than Murray on a broken leg.

Yeah, neither option looks good right now... its a safety wasteland all of the sudden

Straight Morphine drip with all the zip ties and duct tape.

So who starts the Trade for Patrick Peterson thread and how quickly can we get it to 5000 posts?

Joking aside, I think if KC was as down on Berry as I am, they would've had the deal done already. Sounds like they legit think he'll be back and able to contribute. I'm holding out hope in lieu of Because Chiefs.

I'll believe Berry will be back when I see him on the field during a live action game.

Trade a 7th rounder for him!!! Do it Veach!!!

No. Two times is enough.

At least the thread title was correct!

So now he's only worth a 5th

of whiskey

Can we trade nothing now and offer him half what he was asking?

Sucks that this will possibly forever remain a "what if".

Earl Thomas a really, really longshot to be a Chief.

Don't know, man. That might've been a time bomb given how it's in virtually the same area he broke it at before and it really didn't require anything spectacular to break it again.

Put this on the list right under not running Lynch on the goal line in Super Bowl XLIX .

I tend to believe situations and bad luck cause injuries but perhaps you are right in this case. Doesn't help Thomas at all, but the thought would make me feel better.

I guess I'm trying to think of it as 'we just dodged having two injury prone safeties signed to max deals' kind of thing.

Yep, Chiefs dodging the bullet here but they got nailed with the Berry bullet. :(

Obviously safeties are pussies

I'm curious if there will be some reports on how close the Chiefs were to trading for him.

wonder if we still trade a 7th for him or something

I mean at this point they might as well get something for him

That Seattle locker room is weird

Sign him in FA

can't they still tag him and be dbags in general about the whole thing

Seattle will still most likely get a 3rd round comp for letting him walk in FA. And they could still franchise him to get the most out of him, would be a dick move after what just happened to but I wouldn't put it past the seahwaks to do it.

Even if we wanted him still Seattle wouldnt take less than a 3rd.

Third time's the charm. GANG, TO THE PP TRADE THREAD

That's playing with dangerous fire.

He might kill them

Because Chiefs.

No thanks. He'll want even more money and there will be more competition.

The ship has sailed.

All stupid posts aside, I really feel for him. Did a huge favor for the Seahawks and then got shit on for it. Whether he'd have been a Chief or not, this really sucks.

As mentioned, this kinda makes Le'veon's actions looked justified, even if he is a piece of shit.

I’d raid the cardinals roster and see if they’d move someone

Not Peterson but maybe a safety or lb

Reddick in particular

This thread should be closed at 4,000.

some team will give him huge money in the offseason, I'd prefer it not to be us. Lock up Hill for life because he's special and one of a kind.

Do you think Veach will make a move for any other defensive player? Earl Thomas was a perfect fit.

I think if ET heals up by January he wouldn't want to play and risk injuring himself further. Then again, if he plays in the playoffs and shows he is healthy he'll get a decent contract.

CLOSE IT DOWN!
