The core of our team - the offense - was built through the draft. Free agency/trades should be used to finish off that last little bit, which is exactly what Earl Thomas would be.

Hopefully in this scenario Justin Houston takes a paycut.

When you're up $50 on the nickel slots, you freaking cash out and go somewhere else. The guys that sit at the slot machine and put in more nickels don't end up with more money, they end up BROKE. |

I don't have a problem trading for someone. But I'm not giving up a high pick and a big new contract to do it. |

Giving up a 1st for Earl Thomas will look silly when we let Ford walk, have no real resource to replace him and watch QB’s have all day to destroy our all-pro safeties.

How much of the future are you even mortgaging? You are trading a pick for a DB..you're likely drafting at least one if not 2 DB's...Thomas is proven and this team has 18 million of dead money coming off after this year a long with several big money contracts.
Why does it matter if they trade for Thomas or sign a FA other than Thomas can help right ****ing now when we are a contender. |

I have no problem capitalizing on our opportunity, but there's a limit. I absolutely would not give up our first round pick for a 29 year old expensive safety that would require a new contract. I also don't understand this defeatist attitude about our ability to draft defensive talent. I agree we haven't been great, but that doesn't mean you give up. If anyone really thinks that Veach is incapable of improving at finding defensive talent then he absolutely has to go. Either you trust the guy to find talent in the draft and continue to build the team or you don't. Over paying on trades isn't the answer.
