Earl Thomas for a 2nd round pick isn't really a big deal, especially since KC has two picks. The bigger issue to me is that Thomas is going to want to be the highest paid safety. KC has a lot of holes to fill on D. Is that money better spent trying to fill 2 or 3 other positions? Tying up 25+ mil on safeties next year?
I'm not mad if they make the deal, it'll make this year a little more interesting and the inevitable playoff collapse all that more painful. Because Chiefs.

He deserves criticism for using his highest pick on a DE to OLB conversion project. Still doesn't mean I'd be eager to give our 1st to Seattle for Thomas, unless we can agree to a deal that isn't ridiculous first.

If the Chiefs want Earl Thomas, they'll find a way to pay him. That's what good teams do. It's not an excuse. |

Well im fairly certain of one thing you will never ever get to know how much a billionaire gets to sit around making billions. But as much as you post I would say you have a lot of free time on your hands. Maybe you are Clark Hunt.

Then offer both 2019 2nd rd picks instead of a 1st. If they won’t take that then **** them.

It's 4 or 5 years of a cost controlled young player vs 3 or 4 years of a high priced vet. If Thomas stays healthy and plays up to max potential, sure that's great. I'm skeptical it would happen and you're losing value there. In the end, it depends what they have to give up. If it's the Rams 2nd rounder, fine. I don't care for it, but I can stomach it. If it's a 1? No thanks. |

Giving a second for a safety that doesn't want to play here and wants big money will not happen . He wants to play for Dallas and we already have a massively over paid safety that sure as hell isn't taking a pay cut to help keep Thomas if we did get him. We don't have the money and Hill needs his at the end of the year.

I wouldn't give up a 1st either, but the Rams 2nd plus another later round pick yes. Think of how much better the Defense is with Berry in the lineup he tends to be a field general out there.

If Seattle is asking for that many picks, he isn't getting traded. No one is trading higher than a 3, maybe a 2 (doubt it).
He's 29 and he needs a new contract. |

It was reported they already rejected Dallas' 2nd round pick.
