It has already been two weeks since safety Earl Thomas figured in a heated altercation with teammate Chuck Clark and was subsequently released from the Baltimore Ravens camp. He then became a free agent and has yet to find a new home since then which further links him with the frontrunner Dallas Cowboys.

The team also noticeably freed a roster spot on the safety position by releasing the newly-acquired HaHa Clinton-Dix which further sparked the rumors of the team planning to acquire Thomas.

Team owner Jerry Jones further spoke on the possibility of his team signing the free agent safety:

“One of the biggest things that you weigh, and it’s the obvious, but it’s right, is you evaluate where we are at safety, where we are at the secondary, where we are at our numbers,” Jones said during an appearance on the Dallas radio station. “These decisions, like the one you’re talking about with Earl, they’re never served up like a softball.

“They always come in awkward; they always come in with a little hair on it. That’s where I step in.”

Thomas has long been rumored to be a Dallas Cowboy ever since his stint with the Seattle Seahawks. His nine-year tenure with the team that drafted him turned out to be the most productive run of his career. However, the partnership ended on a bitter note as he had some disagreements with head coach Pete Carroll which ultimately led to his departure.

Earl Thomas will aim to put the past behind him and hope that he gets another chance to showcase his wares on the gridiron. The developments over the coming weeks will see if he will indeed be donning the Blue and Silver in the upcoming season.
