Speculatio­n swirls around Thomas joining Cowboys

-

FORT WORTH, Texas — Safety Earl Thomas remains a holdout in Seattle, and the speculatio­n that he’ll eventually join the Dallas Cowboys continues to be a hot topic.

Since Thomas was heard telling Jason Garrett to “come get me” after a game in December, the topic has been a constant source of debate. The All-Pro and former Texas Longhorn star would seem to be a perfect fit on the Cowboys’ defence.

Former centre Shaun O’Hara said Thomas would give the Cowboys a defensive leader.

“This [would] definitely add that veteran aspect to this defence, and it’s really what they’ve been looking for. I think this could be big for them,” he said.

But O’Hara isn’t sure the Seahawks are willing to let Thomas, who is one of the last members of Seattle’s Legion of Boom defence still around, go without getting something big in return. “It will have to be something very intriguing for [Seattle general manager] Josh Schneider to want to pull the trigger on that.” —
