Seahawks safety Earl Thomas appears to be staying away from the beginning of the team's offseason program.
Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas did not attend the beginning of the team’s offseason program Monday, according to a report from Brock Huard of ESPN 710 Seattle, the team’s flagship radio network, a not-unexpected move given the uncertainty of his future with the team.
The offseason program is voluntary and Thomas and other key vets have skipped some of it in past years.
But Thomas’ apparent absence this season could be more telling given that he remains the subject of trade rumors as well as having said he may hold out if he does not get a contract extension prior to the 2018 season.
