Should the Saints make a run at Earl Thomas?

WhoDat!656 · 02-11-2019, 12:29 AM

New Orleans Saints fans want the team to go for broke every year during free agency. The hot names on social media in the 2019 cycle so far are two safeties: Houston Texans star and hometown hero Tyrann Mathieu, and the Seattle Seahawks’ Earl Thomas. Mathieu is likely to re-sign with Houston, so we’ll rule him out.

Here’s the case for making a run at Thomas, and the argument against such a move:

Earl Thomas is coming off a major injury and he's going to want to be paid mega money. The frontrunner so far in signing him is the Forty Whiners.

Or the CowGirls?

I think Honey Badger is an option, despite what the article says.

I'd say no, mainly for salary cap reasons. He would probably be very expensive.

Pass on ET. Coach up Marcus. I’m happy with our secondary aside from slot CB and SS

Earl wants to end his career in Dallas.

Let him end it there.

ChrisXVI · 02-11-2019, 08:16 AM

It’s a no from me.

Any useful portion of his career already ended in Seattle.

Have we learned nothing from Jairus Byrd?!? All he keeps talking about is getting paid - good for him, just not on our cap dime...
