Earl Thomas will skip Seahawks minicamp and probably much more

Earl Thomas announced today he will sit out the Seahawks minicamp this week. He may sit out a lot longer, and Seattle better be ready for that.

Early Sunday morning, Earl Thomas wrote that he would not attend the Seahawks minicamp this week. That isn’t too surprising. Just the other day we wrote about the likelihood of Thomas skipping this week. After all, what’s $84,000 to a guy who’s negotiating for millions? That’s the fine for missing minicamp – actually $84,435, but who’s counting that far down?

Minicamps are mandatory, unlike the OTA which Thomas previously missed; hence the massive deterrent. That fine probably equals what Thomas earns from a few weeks of Chef’s Cut sales, so I doubt…
