The Cowboys and Earl Thomas haven’t been shy about their interest in one another, flirting with the possibility for more than a calendar year. This week, it was reported that Earl Thomas is “allegedly” looking to become the highest paid safety in the NFL, a title currently held by Eric Berry of the Chiefs.
Berry signed a six-year deal worth $78M, an average of $13M per season, and up to $40M in guarantees, $29.8M of which was guaranteed at signing. It’s important to note that Berry got roughly 51% of that contract guaranteed.
