Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports wrote about the 49ers free agency picture earlier this morning. There was an interesting note in the article about the team and Earl Thomas.
Would the 49ers want to add Earl Thomas? The answer is yes. But do the 49ers want to extend the kind of contract that he is seeking? The answer is no.
The 49ers are hanging around, as the market for Thomas does not appear to be as robust as expected.
