 Earl Thomas' NFL Combine Workout |
"I've probably watched 300-400 snaps apiece and in my opinion, Earl Thomas is the most instinctive free safety I've seen on tape in five or six years. He's a playmaker, he's got loose hips, and he's got the best range of any centerfielder I've seen coming out of college football in a long time."[19]
He attended pre-draft visits and private workouts with multiple teams, including thePittsburgh Steelers,Cleveland Browns, andMiami Dolphins. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Thomas was projected to be a first round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked as the top safety in the draft by NFL analystMike Mayock, was ranked the second best safety by NFL analystMel Kiper Jr. andESPN Scouts Inc., and was ranked the second best cornerback prospect by DraftScout.com.[20][21]

At the start of the 2018 season, Thomas did not report to training camp expressing that he would hold out until the Seahawks either renegotiated his current contract or traded him to another team. After missing all of training camp and the preseason, Thomas reported to the Seahawks just days prior to Week 1 and was activated to the roster.[100]
On September 9, 2018, during the season opener against theDenver Broncos, Thomas recorded an interception from quarterbackCase Keenum just five minutes into the game. This marked his 9th consecutive season recording an interception.[101] In Week 3, against theDallas Cowboys, Thomas recorded his second career game with two interceptions in the 24–13 victory.[102]
During a Week 4 matchup against theArizona Cardinals, Thomas was carted off the field in the fourth quarter with a lower leg injury with an air cast attached to it, and gave "the finger" to the Seahawks' bench. It proved to be the last time he would take the field in a Seahawks uniform; he had suffered a broken leg, ending his 2018 season.[103] He was placed on injured reserve on October 2, 2018.[104]
On March 13, 2019, Thomas signed a four-year, $55 million contract with theBaltimore Ravens with $32 million guaranteed.[105][106] He had agreed in principle to sign a one-year, $12 million deal with theKansas City Chiefs a day earlier; the Chiefs were about to ferry him to Kansas City on a private jet when the Ravens outbid them at the last minute.[107]
After years of playing in the Seahawks' relatively simpleCover 3 scheme, Thomas initially found it hard to adjust to the Ravens' more complicated system.[107] However, during the season opener against theMiami Dolphins, Thomas intercepted quarterbackRyan Fitzpatrick on the Ravens' first defensive series of the season, prompting one defensive coach to yell, "We got Earl Thomas!"[108] It marked the 10th consecutive season in which Thomas recorded at least one interception. The Ravens went on to win 59–10.[109]
During the Ravens' Week 4 game against theCleveland Browns, Thomas lost some goodwill with Ravens fans when he missed a chance to stop an 88-yard touchdown burst byNick Chubb. Thomas said he pulled up at midfield because he had pulled a hamstring on a similar play during his days in Seattle (in2017 against theHouston Texans), and did not want to risk injury.[108]
On October 6, 2019, in a game against thePittsburgh Steelers, Thomas made a helmet-to-helmet hit which knocked Steelers QBMason Rudolph unconscious. Rudolph did not return for the rest of the game. On October 21, Thomas was fined $21,000 for the hit.[110] In week 9 against theNew England Patriots, Thomas recorded his second interception of the season, picking offTom Brady in the 37–20 win.[111] In Week 10 against theCincinnati Bengals, Thomas recovered a fumble forced by teammateChuck Clark on running backGiovani Bernard in the 49–13 win.[112] In Week 14 against theBuffalo Bills, Thomas recorded a team high 7 tackles and sackedJosh Allen during the 24–17 win, clinching a playoff berth.[113] Thomas earned a Pro Bowl nomination for the 2019 season.[114]
In the divisional round of the playoffs against theTennessee Titans, Thomas recorded a team-high seven tackles and sacked quarterbackRyan Tannehill during the 28–12 loss.[115] He was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame All-Decade Team for the 2010s.[116] He was ranked 75th by his fellow players on theNFL Top 100 Players of 2020.[117]
On August 21, 2020, Thomas and fellow safetyChuck Clark got into an altercation during practice after Thomas missed a coverage that allowedMark Andrews to score a long touchdown. Thomas then punched Clark and was sent home. After the Ravens advised Thomas not to come to practice on August 22, they released him the next day for conduct detrimental to the team–or, as the team put it, "personal conduct that has adversely affected the Baltimore Ravens".[118][107] His release came after players told coachJohn Harbaugh and general managerEric DeCosta that they did not want Thomas back on the team.[108] Harbaugh consulted the team's "Leadership Council" of veteran players, and only one of them wanted Thomas to return.[108][119] No other team signed him during the season.
According to an article byThe Athletic, even though Thomas had made seven of the last nine Pro Bowls, he had developed a reputation for being "uncoachable." According to a number of his former Seahawks teammates and coaches, the Seahawks had been able to manage the situation until 2017, when Chancellor suffered a career-ending neck injury (he did not play at all in 2018 and retired the following spring) and Sherman had his season prematurely ended by a ruptured Achilles tendon. In what proved to be a warning sign, Thomas put out feelers to the Cowboys, which was dismissed at the time as "Earl being Earl." By 2018, he frequently refused to practice, ostensibly to protect his value in free agency.[108]
While in Baltimore, Thomas never really became a part of the Ravens' locker-room culture. He was often fined for skipping meetings or showing up late, and left the team on his own at least twice. During the 2020 preseason, Thomas became increasingly surly and withdrawn, frequently skipping meetings and walk-throughs. The altercation with Clark happened in part because Clark believed Thomas would not have blown the coverage had he taken part in walk-throughs. According toThe Athletic, Thomas' reputation for being uncoachable and a poor teammate was the reason that no other team signed him after his release by the Ravens. Reportedly, theHouston Texans considered signing him, but decided against it after several players objected to him joining the team.[108]
