The NFL’s most valuable team and its general manager refused to give up more than a second-round pick for Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas in an offseason trade offer. On Sunday, the All-Pro safety picked off their franchise quarterback twice to lead Seattle to victory. The talk will be talk and money will be money but we do know one thing — Thomas will keep proving his worth whether he gets paid, traded, or neither happens. That man is simply one of the best to do it at his position. For all qualifying defensive players, he currently ranks first in the league through three weeks, according to Pro Football Focus.
