OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens are exploring all of their options with Earl Thomas, and none of them ends with an enviable resolution.
If the Ravens cut ties with the seven-time Pro Bowl safety, it will result in a massive $15 million salary-cap hit and a hole in one of the best secondaries in the NFL. If they hold on to Thomas, they run the risk of another altercation and upsetting the chemistry of a Super Bowl contender.
