It’s not every day that a top-tier team releases a Pro Bowl-level player they’ve made a huge financial commitment to after just a year, but here we are with Earl Thomas. The Baltimore Ravens released the security veteran on Sunday after having a practice bout with defensive teammate Chuck Clark on Friday. Thomas, remember, made an obscene gesture at the Seahawks sideline as he was whisked off the field on a cart after sustaining a season-ending leg injury in 2018, so his behavior unstable towards his own team is not out of character. Are there any winners here? Not really. But everything is relative in the NFL, so some will come out better than others.
