It doesn’t matter that Earl Thomas is skipping Seahawks OTAs — worry later

So Earl Thomas doesn’t feel the need to show up for organized team activities. And the Seahawks, it seems, don’t plan to give him a contract extension that would make him the highest-paid safety in the league.

Missing OTAs causes locker-room tension and disappointment among fans, right?
