How serious are some of these Earl Thomas to the Bolts "rumors?"
Imagine adding him to mentor James as well as a healthy Verrett, with Bosa and Ingram wrecking havoc up front.
I'm really curious if that is just speculation because of the ties to Bradley or if we are actually interested. On one hand, the guy would make our secondary easily the best and deepest in the league and with our pass rush we'd be have a scary D. On the other hand, it would take a ton of money and draft picks that could be used elsewhere and would it make us weaker elsewhere.

Does it put us in the Super Bowl?
I don't see how we sign him without financially handicapping this team in the future. Signing him probably means not signing one of our own next year. So if he's the last piece to the puzzle, get him. If not, don't get him.
Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
Build Back Better.
I agree. I see this as senseless overspending on an area that is not a need. In fact it is already jammed up. THis is just because he used to play for Bradley. He either goes to Dallas, Cleveland or stays in Seattle I think.
He reportedly wants an extension in the 11-12 MM PER range. I don't see that fitting.
Plus, the safety position has been devalued in contract negotiations. Im not sure any team wants to pay that. He could end up getting cut if he cant agree on a contract with Seattle. Then we could get him on a one year deal without giving anything up.
I probably would not spend the draft picks and money on him, especially if James is going to be as good as advertised, but it's hard to argue that he isn't a big upgrade over every safety on our roster (if not almost every safety in the league) and we'd be better with him there.

Not sure anyone is arguing wether he would be an upgrade, but there would be a heavy cost to do it. Does the incrimental benefit warrant it? We were fantastic vs the pass and pts against last year. I love him as a player, but not on this team with the cost associated with a trade and signing. Just my .02
