Earl Thomas III Fantasy Stats

Free-agent safety Earl Thomas was arrested on Saturday. The veteran had a warrant issued at the end of April for violating a protective court order two or more times within 12 months, a third-degree felony, after allegedly sending threatening text messages to a woman. The 33-year-old spent nearly his entire career with the Seahawks before playing his most recent season with the Baltimore Ravens in 2019. Thomas, a Super Bowl champion with seven Pro Bowl appearances under his belt, had recently been lobbying for a comeback. However, his chances for a return were slim already, so this latest hurdle likely won't do him any favors.

Free-agent safety Earl Thomas allegedly violated a court order after sending threatening messages to a woman. As a result, a warrant was issued for his arrest. Thomas hasn't played since 2019, although he has recently been lobbying to make a return. The three-time All-Pro played most of his career in Seattle before spending a year with the Ravens, totaling 497 tackles and 30 interceptions throughout his career. While the 32-year-old seemingly already has an uphill battle to get signed by a club, the latest situation certainly won't help his chances. Nonetheless, regardless of how Thomas' recent legal troubles play out, it's unlikely he'll get much interest from IDP managers ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Free-agent safety Earl Thomas reportedly wants to resume his career and join a team in 2022. The veteran safety hasn't played since the 2019 season with the Baltimore Ravens. He was released by the organization in August of 2020 for conduct detrimental to the team. Thomas was reportedly fighting his teammates in training camp and had a domestic incident with his wife as well. The 32-year-old would like to resume his career, but it's uncertain if anyone is interested in him. He is a seven-time Pro Bowl safety, but is well past his prime and could be more of a headache than help to anyone.

After meeting with free-agent safety Earl Thomas and conducting a physical, the Houston Texans do not plan to sign him, according to a source. The team had scheduled a workout with the All-Pro defensive back, but it did not take place. The Texans will continue to search for help at safety after placing A.J. Moore (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Monday. ESPN's Dianna Russini said the decision not to sign Thomas wasn't related to COVID-19 concerns around the league. The 31-year-old veteran was cut by the Ravens in August after he had an on-field altercation with teammate Chuck Clark in which Thomas punched Clark. The 0-3 Texans could surely use help from a talented veteran like Thomas, though, as they are one of just three teams without an interception in 2020. They have allowed at least 28 points in all three games.

Free-agent safety Earl Thomas was set to have a workout with the Houston Texans on Tuesday, but COVID-19-related protocol scuttled that meeting. Things had advanced between the two sides to the point that Thomas had already taken a physical with the organization. Released by Baltimore during training camp following an altercation with a teammate, the seven-time Pro Bowler would be a sound addition to the Houston secondary. With the workout cancelled Tuesday, it does throw into flux the possibility that Thomas could be available this weekend when the Texans take on Minnesota. Having allowed at least 28 points in each of their first three contests, the Texans Defense is currently not a fantasy option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

The Houston Texans have brought in All-Pro safety Earl Thomas for a workout, and a source said that the team is more likely to sign him this week than not. The Ravens released the seven-time Pro Bowler in August after Thomas had an on-field altercation with teammate Chuck Clark. Houston placed safety A.J. Moore (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Monday, but he's expected to return this year. Thomas will replace Eric Murray in the starting lineup if he signs this week after his COVID-19 testing. Murray played 91 percent of the defensive snaps in the Week 3 loss to the Steelers and struggled in coverage. The Texans Defense is one of three teams without an interception through three weeks, so they'll be hoping that Thomas can help them in the takeaway department. His 30 interceptions since he entered the NFL in 2010 rank third in the league. Houston's defense has allowed at least 28 points in all three games in 2020.

The Houston Texans are conducting a visit with free-agent safety Earl Thomas on Monday after he was released by the Ravens on Aug. 23. Thomas would need to pass COVID-19 testing in order to play with Houston, but he'd be a big-name addition to the Texans secondary as they look to get in the win column in Week 4 against the Vikings. There is mutual interest between Houston and Thomas, and he'd certainly be an upgrade over current safety duo of Eric Murray and Justin Reid. Even though the Texans Defense has allowed just 217.3 passing yards per game through three weeks, they've scored just 2.3 fantasy points per game and are one of just three teams without an interception yet.

Although the Dallas Cowboys made some inquiries on free-agent Pro Bowl safety Earl Thomas after he was released by the Ravens on Sunday, they are not expected to be among the teams vying for his services, sources say. Many assumed the Cowboys would be a favorite for Thomas since he's from Texas and played his college ball there. But Dallas is comfortable with their defensive roster at this point and won't be going after Thomas. You can't completely rule out the Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones, but there will surely be at least a handful of teams interested in taking on the 31-year-old. Thomas' play wasn't the issue in Baltimore.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that he's discussed free-agent safety Earl Thomas with vice president of player personnel Will McClay, but he didn't have anything further to report. McCarthy also said he's "very confident" in the team's current 80-man roster. Thomas was released by the Ravens on Sunday for conduct detrimental to the team. He was sent home from practice early on Friday after getting into a fight with Chuck Clark. The 31-year-old former Pro Bowler should latch on elsewhere with a handful of other teams already interested in him. The Cowboys would likely be a preferred destination for Thomas since he played his college ball at the University of Texas.

The Baltimore Ravens plan on moving on from Pro Bowl safety Earl Thomas according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Thomas punched teammate Chuck Clark during practice on Friday and was sent home. The Ravens plan to either release Thomas for conduct detrimental to the team or trade him if they can strike a deal with another franchise. The Dallas Cowboys are rumored to be the leading candidates to acquire Thomas, although they would also be on the hook for the remainder of the four-year, $55 million deal that he signed before the 2019 season. Either way, Thomas is no longer a part of Baltimore's plans going forward, which is a big blow to their defense.
