According to one report, the Cowboys have discussed an Earl Thomas trade with the Seahawks in recent months. However, Cowboys executive Stephen Jones told reporters on Wednesday that the two sides have not talked about a deal since the draft (Twitter link via PFT’s Charean Williams). 
At this point, it’s hard to know whether Jones is telling the truth. What is clear, however, is that Thomas is still holding out hope of a trade if he does not get a new deal. This week, he is staying away from the club as training camp gets underway.
Thomas is under contract for one more season with a base salary of $8.5MM and a $10.4MM cap hit. When Thomas signed his four-year, $40MM extension with the Seahawks in 2014, he was the highest-paid safety in the game. Today, that deal puts him sixth in average annual value. Thomas either wants the Seahawks to restore his place atop the mountain or trade him to another team that will oblige.
For now, the Cowboys project to start Xavier Woods and Jeff Heath at safety.
Nobody discussed anything with Stephen because he’s not part of any decision making whatsoever. Daddy will let Stephen know any details 5 minutes before the press conference (if it ever happens). Great job telling fibs to the reporters Stephen, now go sit in your corner office and play XBOX or whatever you do when your “at work”.
You obviously haven’t been paying attention…
Stop with the you think you know how the cowboys are run crap.. people assume what they want but no one knows for sure
Earl to the ‘Boys really changed things up.
Seahawks have all the leverage. Earl is ruining hours future and reputation. ‘Hawks have already been through this with Kam’ and he was far more straightforward. They’re not doing it again.
Oh btw the Seahawks wouldnt have leverage if there are trade talks the guys is holding out and he’s a free agent next year the cowboys could just wait until the off season to sign him if they want him.. stop playing GM cause you don’t know what your talking about
