Earl Thomas ends holdout, reports to Seahawks Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks defensive back Earl Thomas has ended his holdout and will report to the team on Wednesday.

What It Means:

Thomas was reportedly willing to miss regular-season games if the Seahawks didn't offer him an extension, but it looks like he will play out the final year of his deal as is. The 29-year-old said on Instagram that "the disrespect has been well noted and will not be forgotten," so it's possible a trade is made at some point in-season. The Dallas Cowboys reportedly upped their offer to a second-round pick for Thomas' service, after originally offering a third.

Operating under the previous assumption he misses Week 1, numberFire's models project Thomas for 77.9 tackles, 5.9 pass deflections, and 2.0 interceptions this season.
