Seattle Signs Safety Earl Thomas

Aug 01, 2010

The Seattle Seahawks have reached an agreement with safety Earl Thomas, one of their two first-round draft picks.

A person familiar with the deal says it’s a five-year contract worth $21.1 million, including $12.32 million guaranteed. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal had not yet been signed.

A Seahawks spokesman confirmed the agreement on Saturday night but wouldn’t reveal the terms.

Seattle selected the 21-year-old Thomas out of Texas with the No. 14 pick in the April draft. He missed two practices on the first day of training camp.

Left tackle Russell Okung, drafted by the Seahawks with the No. 6 selection, remains unsigned.

Fantasy Impact:

Seattle's team defense is pretty much at rock bottom in our rankings (only St. Louis is lower), but Thomas has a decent shot at becoming a useful IDP player.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
