If Dallas gives up more than a third, they are insane.

or if Earl is just pushing for a new contract or trade. Tells us nothing regarding whether the teams are in contact.

He wouldn't be the first player to try and use a high profile team for that sort of thing.

Thomas seems like an Ed Reed type to me and for that reason I'd be fine with a 3rd. You also have Weddle who is playing at a high level at 31, 32 years old so I expect Thomas to still be elite or near-elite for at least another 3 years, if not up to 5.

If we could get Thomas for a third and draft Vea in the first round, we should have one of the best defenses in the league if the LB core holds up

Does Mike Fisher know anything? I've heard the name but he works for 247sports so I suspect he's FOS.
I'd agree, but for the fact that the ol wil'catter is still ultimately in charge.

Jerry has done some dumb shit, but a 2nd for ET, would rank near the top. This move would be acceptable IF we were one player from a legitimate SB run... but we're not.

Seattle is looking for a 1st & 3rd rounder for Thomas. Never going to happen at that price. Thomas says he won't play without and extension. Wants something like Eric Berry got that was 6 year/78 million. Way to rich for Dallas.

You're forgetting that the owner is delusional. Why else would Garrett still be the coach?

An idiotic contract for anyone not named Ed Reed.
