Go get him

Come on down!

Sign....shit.....something something?

No.

No.

DID WE SIGN THIS TERRIBLE ****ING FOOTBALL PLAYER WHO I ****ING HATE, BUT WILL LOVE WHEN HE MAKES ALL PRO AS A MEMEBER OF THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS!!!!!!!!

Erm...Thornhill could be anything coming off a major injury.

There is potentially a gap to be filled

Thornhill is better than he is at this point. Y’all really think he’s coming here to be a package safety?

Earl Thomas officially released by Baltimore
 

How do you know is Thornhill better? He’s just had a terrible injury

Is Simply Red still friends with him on FB???

I am just baffled as to why you have red rep with takes like these.

It will be interesting to see if KC pursues him.

They have tried on 2 separate occasions to acquire him. Pretty good chance they will be interested, especially at what will obviously be a very discounted price.

Is he an upgrade over Sorensen at this point? Because even if we did consider it, that's the spot he'd be looking at taking. I'm leaning no. Five years ago, absolutely, but not today.

I'd be shocked if Dallas wasn't the team to sign him.

No thanks

This time of year you don't get big money. He's going to sign for 1 year somewhere he can look good. Hell Mathieu wanted another safety early in the draft so he could "hunt".

Yep

Yep, Jerry Jones is attracted to drama and flattering press releases as Robert Kraft is to massage oil.

Maybe the Patriots and he'll flame out there in a week.

**** signing this dumbass.

It'd be pretty funny if he actually won the inevitable arbitration and ****ed the Ravens cap for years.

Jerry Jones saw this news and still needed to pop some Viagra to get a hard on.

If we could sign him for 1 year (no money guaranteed) I would give it a shot. If he causes any trouble drop him immediately. Like many here I'm pretty sure he'll end up in Dallas.

So do the Ravens now sign Clowney with the money they clawed back from Earl?

Sign him and put him on the practice squad.

Just to piss him off.

If he can’t fit in in Baltimore, he probably wouldn’t here either.

His own teammates asked for him to be released

That says enough

Maybe he just wants to be on a team that can actually win a playoff game

God ,that was fun to say!

Well then he shouldn't head to Dallas

Pass.

Dude punched a teammate.

No thanks.

Once a chode, always a chode.

This guy had a devil's three way with his brother. He's a ****ing lunatic.

No thanks.

Didn't 2/3rds of NE defense opt out? He'll be a Patriot in no time.

The Raiders should have a go at him.

Just imagine the repercussions of Thomas living in Las Vegas full time.

ROFL

I still laugh about that from time to time.

Let him go to Dallas

He’s the epitome of an entitled person...but he’s also a big game player.

Sammy is married, I believe

Dane, maybe that teammate deserved it. Maybe he put icy hot in his jock. LMAO

We don’t even need him. Thornhill looks like he could be ready to go week 1.

I only said that if he comes in in a vet minimum. A prove yourself deal.

And the repercussions of trying to cover Kelce 1-on-1 or playing center field against Tyreek twice a year.....

Just spent the last few minutes listening to the NFL Network talk about him and his history......Piss off Earl, we don't need you in our locker room.

It wasn't exactly a secret the last 24 hours what was about to happen. That's why Dallas cleared the cap space. Unless another team swoops in with big money like the Ravens last year, he's headed to Dallas

The feel-good headline here is seeing our #1 conference rival experience chaos right before the season begins. Thomas isn't what he once was, but they have tied up a lot of cash in the guy and thought they had that whole Safety situation under control. If this were a Baltimore board we'd be in full meltdown right now.

Jerry is hell-bent on going 9-7 this season

Yea it might be for the better off the field and in the locker room, but this absolutely hurts them on it.

Their safeties are very meh at this point.

Not a good teammate. Ergo, not a Kansas City Chiefs.

It's Lamar's turn dealing with The Madden Curse

He has been in the league too long. Cant do that.

Plus the whole you have to cut them then sign them to the practice squad thing.

He's going to Dallas and apparently his attitude sucks. No thanks

only gay if the balls touch

I think the new rules state you can put vets on the practice squad and protect 4 players

Here’s a couple Lamar Jackson stats for you.

Last season, 27 of his 36 passing TDs came against non playoff teams.

He only threw for over 250 yards 3 times, and those were in the first 3 weeks of the season.

I think it’s still absolutely fair to question his staying power in the league due to his struggles as a passer.

You can which means Gehrig Dieter is going to be on the PS for the next 10 years.

Not sure we need the headache, but if Veach wants to take a crack at him that's fine.

We tend to love playing a shit ton of safeties anyway.

Its the Mahomes rule!

Well Willie Gay broke his college QB’s face and we still drafted him. Not saying we’re going after Thomas but this kinda stuff hasn’t stopped us before

If he can't respect the Ravens defense he sure as **** won't respect ours.

that would still be a dangerous secondary if Bill did that, but I think Jerry is on this ever since Earl publicly told him to get him to Dallas.

This is hilarious.

The Ravens will vanish like a fart in the wind. The idea that they’re going to be our rival for the next decade has always seemed ludicrous to me.

Lamar won’t make it another 3 years playing the way he does, let alone 10.

Tired arm, that's a different language to Mahomes

Even if the Ravens win the grievance he's still counting for 5 million this year and 10 million next year. God Damn. 15 million this year if they lose the grievance.

I would trust our defensive leadership over every defensive leadership in the NFL, though the 49ers have to be close.

Mathieu and Clark will not put up with Earl Thomas bullshit.

That being said: this is a guy who flipped off his own sideline then went to another franchise whose own players ran him out.

Wherever he goes, he’s going to explode. And no level of defensive leadership can rope that in.

True, they also have to endure Marcus Peters petulance

Which is only going to get worse without an All Pro to reign in his worst impulses.

What? I don’t even.

Shit guys, CEH would probably have a sore arm too if we asked him to throw 10 passes every practice.

Obviously the Dallas connection makes sense but remember the Chiefs were on the verge of signing Thomas last offseason before Baltimore swooped in. The Cowboys have had their chances and haven’t pulled the trigger. Meanwhile the Chiefs have twice been in the cusp of acquiring him so they obviously really wanted him at one point.

KC has been hyper aggressive in trying to set up a chance at repeating. They had a plan to team up Mathieu with Thomas last year. Maybe that’s something they’d still like to do.

Should be interesting, the guy is obviously a head case though.

We signed this POS yet?

Didn’t we draft a guy this year who did that?

He must of gave too many stiff arms while running...

Yeah, Reid and Veach seem to go off their talking with guys and what they found out about the guy thats not public. But, safety isn't our biggest concern so why take a chance on a locker room distraction?

Did Willie have a history of punching QB's in the face?

We tried to sign him last year and he was basically a Chief til Mosley decided to sign with the Jets clearing up cap for the Ravens.

I'd sign him if he were still as good as he used to be. Problem is he looked like a guy who lost a step last year.

The Chiefs just won a Super Bowl with Dan Sorensen at safety.

The Chiefs don't need the lockerroom drama that Earl Thomas would bring.

I trust whatever Veach does.

If we sign him, I trust that we did our homework.

If we don’t, I trust we made the right call.

Have the Cowboys signed this piece of shit yet?
