With the start of training camp roughly a week away, former Texas safety Earl Thomas is ramping up his desires of a new contract from the Seattle Seahawks or to be traded, presumably to the Dallas Cowboys.

The Pro Bowl safety skipped all the Seahawks offseason activities, including the mandatory minicamp and plans to hold out of training camp if he doesn’t get a contract extension.

He is the final year of his deal and is scheduled to make $8.5 million in 2018.

Thomas, 29, took his demands to Instagram on Monday.
