It’s been a wild week, and really a wild few years, for now-free agent Earl Thomas.
After his unceremonious exits from the Seattle Seahawks and Baltimore Ravens over the past year-plus, the talented Thomas finds himself without a team — and with major questions about which other clubs might consider adding a talented player who has been let go by two Super Bowl contenders.
The 31-year-old Thomas clearly can still play, even if he’s not quite the same player he was a few years ago. What the other 30 scouting staffs in the league are now asking themselves is: Why would two strong teams — ones that are a little more liberal when it comes to dealing with character questions — want Thomas gone?
