Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll previously indicated that he expects safety Earl Thomas to be at mandatory minicamp. As it turns out, though, Thomas does not plan to meet that expectation.

Thomas posted on Twitter that he will not, in fact, be attending the team’s minicamp as his ongoing contract issue remains unresolved:

“I will not be attending the upcoming minicamp or any team activities until my contract situation is resolved. I want everyone especially the 12s to know that I want to remain a Seahawk for the rest of my career but I also believe that based on my production over the last 8 years that I’ve earned the right to have this taken care of as soon as possible. I want to have certainty in regards to the upcoming years of my career. I’m going to continue to work my craft and put in work so that I can add to the team and give us the best chance to win. I hope my teammates understand where I’m coming from I believe this is the right thing to do.”

Thomas is in the final year of his current deal, where he’s slated to make $8.5 million. His future in Seattle has been one of the ongoing sagas of the offseason. He’s been strongly linked with a move to the Dallas Cowboys, although the two sides have been unable to come to terms on any deal.

Thomas has not attended any of the team’s organized team activities all offseason, and it isn’t particularly surprising that he’s decided to sit out mandatory minicamp as well. After suffering the first serious injury of his career in 2016, it makes sense that he wants to have more security as his next contract could potentially be the last big one of his career.

Thomas’ holdout should put more pressure on the Seahawks to find a resolution for his future. Whether that comes in the form of a new long-term contract or a trade to the Cowboys remains to be seen.
