Baltimore Ravens: Earl Thomas homecoming a lost headline
Lost in the news surrounding the Baltimore Ravens move for Marcus Peters and the Lamar Jackson v. Russell Wilson matchup is Earl Thomas‘s return to Seattle.
The Baltimore Ravens have been in the news a lot this past week thanks to a trade for Pro Bowl cornerback Marcus Peters. The team also travels to Seattle to take on a very good Seahawks team that will see their quarterback Russell Wilson get into one of the best quarterback duels this season. However, there’s one news story that’s been entirely overlooked: it’s Earl Thomas’ return to Seattle, Washington.

In Earl Thomas’ interview with the media a few days back, Thomas kept most of his emotions under wraps. Thomas maintained a cool attitude throughout the interview, but we all remember that infamous finger that he gave to the Seattle Seahawks sideline in 2018 after he broke his leg…
There’s little doubt that Thomas has forgotten about any negative emotions he has for the front office and the way he left the organization he’ll always be remembered for. It will be an emotional return for good reasons as well, as Thomas will be reunited with his old teammates that he won Super Bowl XLIII with and others that he built a strong connection with.
