Well, that happened fast.
Earl Thomas’ time in Baltimore is over.
The seven-time Pro Bowl safety was cut by the Ravens on Sunday in the wake of his practice scuffle with fellow safety Chuck Clark on Friday in which he reportedly punched Clark. The Cowboys, who sought former Jets safety Jamal Adams, are the favorite to land him, according to ESPN. The Ravens said the reason for Thomas’ release was “for personal conduct that has adversely affected the Baltimore Ravens,” meaning they’re likely to pursue recouping money on Thomas’ four-year, $55 million contract.
“I appreciate the Ravens organization for the opportunity. Had a great run,” Thomas wrote on his Instagram story after being released. “Wish things would have ended different but you live and you learn. Thank you Eric DeCosta and everyone else who played a role in bringing me to B-More. Wish you guys the best.”
The Ravens players’ “Leadership Council made it clear to decision makers they would prefer Thomas not be around,” according to CBS. While Thomas, 31, was in the second year of the contract.
Thomas attempted to clear the air by posting the clip of the play on Instagram and addressing it in a statement. He wrote that he committed a mental error and was trying to calmly explain to Clark what happened when “built up aggression turned into me getting into with a teammate.”

ReplyDeleteNorthwest Woodsman: If not for the NFL, most of these overpaid creatures would be playing football on a prison team and yet, some people idolize them and even wear jerseys with the offender’s name on the back.
