49ers, Texans join Cowboys in interest for Earl Thomas

Earl Thomas is at it again. The former Seattle Seahawk was cut loose by the Baltimore Ravens after he got physical with a teammate in practice over a missed coverage. Now, the Dallas Cowboys could try and make a run at him.

NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport was the first to report America’s Team interest in the All-Pro safety. However, he also added that both the Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers could also join his sweepstakes.

The Ravens were expected to try and trade Thomas following his altercation. However, the aftermath of his actions had a blunt response by the organization and its zero-tolerance policy on intra-team violence.

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly the frontrunner to land Thomas. However, coach Mike McCarthy recently said that there’s nothing to report about it and that he’s pretty confident in their 80-man squad.

As for the Texans, Deshaun Watson recently tweeted that he ‘can’t wait to see’ where he lands, while San Francisco 49ers’ star cornerback Richard Sherman added that he’s like ‘a brother to him’, thus fueling the rumors of a potential reunion at Levi’s Stadium.

Earl Thomas: Elite Defender, Elite Troublemaker

This isn’t the first time Earl Thomas has been in the news for the wrong reasons. Earlier in the year, his wife put a gun at his head after catching him with another woman. Needless to say, the news flooded the internet in a heartbeat.

There’s no doubt that Thomas is one of the best of the game when he’s locked in the gridiron. Then again, there’s not a team in the league that’s going to allow that kind of behavior towards a teammate.
