Attention Seahawks fans who are still dismayed about safety Earl Thomas no longer being in Seattle . . . you might want to stop reading now.
With last offseason and the subsequent 2018 campaign revolving around Thomas’ holdout, debating whether or not to trade him, and his devastating injury in Week 4, the former All-Pro safety’s exit from Seattle was less than amicable.
Since then, Thomas made his way east to Baltimore, where he signed a four-year deal worth $55 million to become the third highest paid safety in the league. Now Ravens fans, Seahawks fans, and the rest of the NFL are getting a first look at Thomas in a Baltimore uniform.
Thomas will be playing on a new team, in a new city, in a new division and even a new conference. Despite all the change, it appears one thing will remain the same – he is still going to be wearing jersey No. 29.
After it was announced Thomas would be signing with Baltimore, all eyes turned to cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who currently owned No. 29 during his two years with the Ravens.
Thomas and Humphrey clearly worked a deal out involving charitable donations, and now Thomas can continue wearing the same number he has for his entire NFL career.
Seahawks fans will get an even closer look at Earl Thomas in a Ravens uniform when Baltimore makes a rare trip to Seattle in Week 7.
