For Seattle Seahawks fans who wanted the team to get rid of Earl Thomas after he threatened to holdout, or after he did hold out, or after he gave Pete Carroll the middle finger while a bone in his leg had just been broken moments before, Thomas had some bad news to deliver back to them: I want to retire as a Seahawk.
Though Thomas hinted at retirement thoughts a couple of years ago after he broke his leg the first time, there’s little chance that moment is coming soon. Thomas signed a four-year, $55 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens last month and he’s pretty solidly locked into that deal through at least 2021.
