After the loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Christmas Eve, that would ultimately end the Dallas Cowboys 2017 season, something happened that would send Cowboys nation into a frenzy and get them imagining a brighter future.
Seahawks safety Earl Thomas was seen catching up with Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett on the way to Dallas’ locker room. Thomas told Garrett to “come get me” if the team was given the opportunity to acquire him. He would follow up his remarks in a post-game interview at his locker saying the Cowboys were the only other team in the league he would want to play for.
