Earl Thomas...
The Baltimore Ravens will reportedly either release or trade safety Earl Thomas as a result of an altercation with a teammate at practice, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Schefter noted the Dallas Cowboys are the favorites to land Thomas if he is cut by Baltimore.
The NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans are also teams to watch when it comes to Thomas.
Thomas was sent home from practice Friday after a fight with fellow safety Chuck Clark, per Tom Peliserro of NFL Network. He was told to stay home Saturday despite the team returning to practice.
The veteran attempted to explain his side of the story on Instagram, noting the confrontation was a result of busted coverage during practice:
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Earl Thomas posted this video to his Instagram of the coverage breakdown that led to the altercation with fellow S Chuck Clark. He works to clear the air on the matter in this post: https://t.co/RK5GnkpqVl pic.twitter.com/Dc4JY5DRwa

looks very calm.
Not sure why we've come to accept horseshit behavior and over the top aggression like this as an athlete just 'being a competitor' or a 'perfectionist'. Its not any of those things: its being an asshole. Let's call it like it is and stop kissing this guy's ass like the media loves to do.

Cuz he got by with it under Carrol in Seattle. Their Man of the Year nominee was one of the Bennett brothers who got in a fight and kicked out of the game at the kneel down at the end of a game, on the weekend they announced the nominees.

Even the Raven's locker room asked Management to get rid of him. What does that say about Thomas...?

I lost any respect for him when he flipped off Pete Carroll while being carted off the field. I totally understand wanting your money as he definitely deserved it, but that type of action isnt needed to become public and sets a poor example for younger guys
