Is Signing Earl Thomas Worth the Risk for the Packers?

Among the list of free agents that are said to be a good fit for the Packers, is former Seattle Seahawk all-pro safety Earl Thomas. Thomas would certainly be an instant upgrade for the Packers at one of their weakest positions because of his diverse skill set and his ability to shut down the opponent's receivers and tight ends while making game-changing plays on the ball. The only risk that comes with signing Earl Thomas is whether or not he will be able to stay healthy for a full season.

Two of Thomas's last three seasons have ended with the same injury, a broken tibia.
