Seattle Seahawks star Earl Thomas is heading toward the final year of his contract, but he doesn't want to wait on a new deal. Unfortunately for Thomas, the team doesn't appear ready to budge.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Network provided the latest rumors on the situation:
Mike GarafoloThe Seahawks-Earl Thomas staredown is almost upon us. The Hawks’ reluctance to do a deal right now doesn’t mean they don’t want to do one at some point. Thomas is trying to force their hand, though. https://t.co/CH4VfLsRWf
The safety announced in June that he would not be participating in any team activities until his contact situation is resolved.
