3. Earl Thomas gets his revenge

Earl Thomas has gone on record with The Rich Eisen Show saying that he wants to retire as a Seahawk and hopes the team will retire his jersey one day. That doesn’t mean the former All-Pro will hold back against his old team.

Thomas was with the Seahawks from 2010 until this past offseason, when he signed a lucrative deal with the Ravens. Pete Carroll and the Seahawks selected Thomas with the 14th Overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, making him the first member of the Legion of Boom’s legendary trio to be selected by Seattle.

During his time with the Seahawks, Thomas went to two Super Bowls, won one, made six Pro Bowls, was a First-Team All-Pro three times, and intercepted 28 passes.

During the 2018 offseason, Thomas held out in hopes of a new deal. At the time, Seattle was entering a transitional phase, and the team didn’t feel comfortable paying the 29-year old veteran who’d missed seven games over the past two seasons. While Thomas wasn’t happy, he showed up to work anyway, and he balled out. In four games, he intercepted three passes, made 22 combined tackles, and broke up five more passes.

Unfortunately, Thomas fractured his lower left leg during the team’s fourth game. It was an unceremonious end to his time in Seattle. Now, Thomas will face off against his former team. While he does have an interception his season, Thomas’ production hasn’t kept pace with his work in years past. However, the potential future Hall of Famer now has a chance to be the first player to intercept Russell Wilson this year. If anyone can pull it off, it’s Thomas.
