There was a point in time back in the offseason where Earl Thomas being traded to the Dallas Cowboys felt like a freight train moving at the speed of sound. It felt unstoppable and inevitable.
So much of the coal that fueled this engine was mined on the streets of Instagram where Earl Thomas kept dropping bread crumbs and seemingly winking at America’s Team. Try as we all might to make it happen ourselves, neither the Cowboys nor Seahawks have apparently budged on whatever may or may not be holding things up.
