Falcons coach Dan Quinn says the team is not interested in acquiring a high profile safety such as Earl Thomas or Eric Reid, according to Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Although the team has lost starter Ricardo Allen for the season, Quinn says he’s confident in the ability of Damontae Kazee to hold down free safety with Jordan Richards and Kemal Ishmael at strong safety.
Quinn added that Reid’s participation in national anthem protests were not a factor in the team’s decision. Rather, he says that he likes the team’s internal options.
As for Thomas, one has to imagine that the Falcons are simply unwilling to pay the necessary price to acquire him from the Seahawks in a trade. Thomas has been vocal about his desire for a new deal and trade speculation is percolating once again after the three-time All-Pro skipped two practices inside of one week.
While the Chiefs and Cowboys could be among the clubs to pursue Thomas, it sounds like the Falcons can be scratched off of the list.
Why not? Both make since and will provide depth…
Make since? Hahahahaha
your comment doesn’t make since??? hahaha
ohhhh since vs.sense got it lol…forgot everyone on here focuses on correct grammar for some odd reason
Just goofing relax
Cents?
Thomas is waaayyyy more than depth
agreed and Thomas would be a starter after a few games thus making Kazee depth, but they wouldn’t hopefully give up more than a ‘depth’ price….in season trades simply don’t work in the NFL like it does in baseball
“SINCE” ??
sense…since…cents…???..!!!…
