Seahawks Place S Earl Thomas Did Not Report List, Add Three To PUP List DE Dion Jordan

The Seattle Seahawks have placed S Earl Thomas on the reserve/did not report list Thursday, per Bob Condotta.

A report from earlier in the day mentioned that Thomas could hold out into the regular season if he doesn’t get a new deal or traded.

Thomas, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Seahawks back in 2010. He’s entering the final year of his five-year, $44.725 million contract that includes $27.725 million guaranteed and stands to make a base salary of $8.5 million for the 2018 season.

According to OverTheCap.com, trading Thomas would free up $8.5 million of available cap space while creating $1.9 million in dead money.

In 2017, Thomas has appeared in 14 games and recorded 88 tackles, two interceptions with one being returned for a touchdown, a forced fumble and seven pass defenses. ProFootballFocus rated him as the No. 9 overall safety out of 86 qualifying players.

Jordan, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2010. He had two years remaining on his four-year, $20.572 million rookie contract when the Dolphins cut him loose.

The Dolphins traded up to No. 3 overall to select Jordan, but he hasn’t come anywhere close to living up to his draft status and has been suspended twice since entering the NFL for performance-enhancing drug violations and undergone two knee surgeries.

The Seahawks signed him to a one-year, $640,000 contract last offseason and placed him on the NFI list before activating him in November. Seattle brought Jordan back on a restricted deal worth around $1.9 million for the 2018 season.

In 2017, Jordan appeared in five games for Seattle and recorded 18 total tackles, four sacks, and one forced fumble.
