Baltimore Ravens release safety Earl Thomas

The Baltimore Ravens have decided to part ways with safety Earl Thomas of Orange, Texas. The reason for his departure is rather interesting. Thomas was released on Sunday after he punched teammate, Chuck Clark of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during practice on Friday, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. 

Thomas signed a four-year contract worth $55 million, of which $32 million was guaranteed, on March 13, 2019. In one season in Baltimore, Thomas was selected to the Pro Bowl and had two interceptions for 38 yards, four pass deflections, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery for six yards, two sacks, 49 combined tackles (32 solo tackles and 17 assisted tackles), two tackles for a loss and six quarterback hits.

Thomas’s two interceptions, two sacks, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery came in Ravens wins. His interceptions came in a 59-10 Ravens win over the Miami Dolphins on September 8, and in a 37-20 Ravens win over the New England Patriots on November 3. Thomas’s forced fumble and full sack came in a a 24-17 Ravens win over the Buffalo Bills on December 8. His fumble recovery came in a 49-13 Ravens clobbering over the Cincinnati Bengals on November 10.  Thomas also had half sacks in a 20-17 Ravens win over the San Francisco 49ers on December 1, and in a 31-15 Ravens win over the Cleveland Browns on December 22.

One of the most electrifying safeties in the NFL, Thomas played nine seasons with the Seattle Seahawks before joining the Ravens. A six-time Pro Bowler in the Pacific Northwest, Thomas won a Super Bowl with Seattle in 2014.

It should be noted that this was not the first confrontation that Thomas had recently. In April, Thomas’s wife caught him sleeping with another woman and held him at gunpoint according to PennLive. Thomas was then able to wrestle the gun away from his wife, who was charged for her actions.
