I get the move, but hope he's athletically where he needs to be. This could be DJ Swearenger part 2.

Earl is more what we need IMO

We don't need what Earl Thomas has to offer. I don't want a dude who compromises scheme integrity to freelance, doesn't show to meetings and doesn't want to be held accountable for his play.

I would rather have a limited player for a limited role than that. TJ is better than anything we currently have on the roster.

I've always liked Tony Jefferson. Let's give him a look.

The guy we should be bringing in is Eric Reid or Clinton Dix

Heck I'd bring Bethea back. He's 36 now but dudes always been a baller.

Tony Jefferson is a great story. But I don't think he can cover at 90% health.

Earl Thomas or go home Cardinals 2020 season.

He wasn’t the same player last season, but he might be the best option unless they have the guts to move Simmons.

Understood.

I just feel we are a ballhawk away from being a great defense. Tony would be a Budda replacement for now but not a long term FS option.

Earl still had juice last year. It just happened to get spilled on and off the field in very horrible ways.

Earl Thomas has been a great player but their something obviously wrong about his character right now with the way he is quickly being shown the door by prospective employers. The best thing a team can have is a great player with great character, hence D-Hop but the opposite side of the spectrum would be a guy like Thomas... for who they are, they have too much influence

I think people are visualising Tony from 5 years ago and not how he looked recently before a serious knee injury.

Jefferson is like a tire that has been retreaded twice.

Some PFF info regarding Earl's 2019 Ravens season before all hell broke loose this offseason.

Sounds like it could work if he wasn't such a loon.

Another good read here:

https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-baltimore-ravens-earl-thomas-release

The former first-round pick out of Texas played well in his lone campaign in Baltimore, amassing over 0.4 wins above replacement on 942 snaps, which was the fifth-highest mark of his career in a season and ranked in the top-20 at his position.

When Thomas was in coverage, he allowed just 0.17 yards per coverage snap, which was the fifth-best mark of any safety with over 350 coverage snaps during the 2019 regular season. He also ranked fourth among safeties in targets against per coverage snap in the slot (25.5), displaying some versatility there, as well.

Tony Jefferson cannot play but is not a loon.

Earl Thomas can play but is a loon.

I know it’s not the cardinal way but let’s take the talented loon!

 

[Buckybird]

I’m not sure Tony can still play. Cross our fingers, our pass defense is about to be in trouble if not

 

[Jetstream Green]

From my understanding, and this might have changed in the modern era, but does not the FS call the secondary coverage? Meaning if so, that requires a smart guy back there who knows the defense allocating our limited resources of current talent in coverage

Certainly, it wouldn’t make sense to sign Reid and ask him to play a coverage-based role in 2020. But Reid actually did much better in other areas of the game last season. He led all safeties in tackles against designed runs in 2019, according to NFL Next Gen Stats, with 74. While some of that was an artifact of lining up in the boxon 47% of snaps, 10th-most of any qualified safety, Reid wasn’t merely padding his stats with meaningless downfield tackles. He recorded more than half of his rushing tackles on plays that put the offensive team in a less favorable down-and-distance situation than they were in before, according to expected points. And while raw tackling stats can at times be misleading and/or useless, Reid ranked second in the league last season in tackles (130) for a defensive back. The player in front of him, the Arizona Cardinals’ Budda Baker, received a four-year, $59 million extensionlast month, making Baker, who, like Reid, also struggles in coverage, the highest-paid safety in the league.

It wasn't the Raven way, or the Seahawk way either. Those teams told him to go away.
