  • Been a fan of Earl's game since he was at Texas.   But if an entire teams leadership doesn't want you.     Well.....

    edit:  Ravens released him which I believe means they ate a good deal of $ for it.    Makes me even more skeptical.

    left on his contract was 10M/11M than 12M.... this years cap hit?15M? ouch!

  • Browns don't need that headache. We are good at S, If he were a LB? well that could be a different story.

    The fuck....have you been paying attention?  Our starting  SS just basically went down for the season, and the backup was a street UDFA no one has ever heard of.   And how is it that Thomas, who was considered a great team leader in Seattle, all of a sudden a team cancer in Baltimore?

    If he was released however, would the Browns....or any team that picks him up also have to pick up that salary?  My understanding was not.

    Who does he think is this team's strong safety?

    Forgot, gifs eat up bandwith.

    In short... not a clue in hell.  

  • Was used more as an In The box safety by the Ravens and had a poor rating according to PFF in Run Defense department.  No thanks.

    More bark than bite these days.  And my favorite play of 2019 Chubb gliding by him on that 88 yard TD run is still on my mind too.

    No, if released, a new team would not have to pick up any of his past deal. Nothing. And they have released him. But it sounds like there is more to the story than one incident; it's sounding like he's had a meltdown and no one likes him on the Ravens.

    To be expected.  He's a middle fielder who has always been just a touch undersized.    He still isn't a complete liability, but he doesn't have the physical dimensions of somebody like Harrison Smith.

  • I'm just happy to have him out of the division.  ✌️

    Kevin Johnson, list on depth chart as starting SS.    Lacerated liver?  

    Except....well....Fuck Me.    I am confusing him  with Karl Joseph. 

    KJ 1   Karl Joseph SS  KJ 2 Kevin Johnson   CB     One KJ looks like all the others

    Oh ok, I was wondering who you were talking about. 

  • Nope got waived.

  • Dude would have a serious chip on his shoulder for a team the browns need to beat twice, and at a position of need.......

  • KJ was on track to be the 3rd/slot corner.. Thomas wouldn't be the worst guy to sign on a prove-it deal, plus if a division rival is paying his salary so much the better.

    I don't know "how" but apparently it happened. Reading Raven boards, it appears the coaches, the front office AND the players all wanted him gone. He seems like an angry, red-headed step child, at this point. He must have really been in a dick mode to have everyone against him.

    Yeah, something smells rotten with him.
