Seahawk free safety Earl Thomas — who remains holding out from training camp while locked in a contract dispute with the team — reiterated his desire to either get an extension to be traded in a lengthy article published by The Players’ Tribune Thursday morning.
It’s the first time Thomas has spoken in any manner since his holdout officially began a week ago, one in which he could be fined up to $200,000 for having missed five practices (teams can fine players up to $40,000 for each day missed).
Thomas writes of the physical and mental toll that football takes.
