Now that Earl Thomas has been cut from the Baltimore Ravens, his bad behavior is being unearthed and it’s giving people a reason why the team had to make this decision.
The final tipping point came when he got into a training camp fight with fellow safety Chuck Clark on Friday, but that added to a laundry list of things Thomas has done.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported the Clark incident was “the last of a string of events” involving the Pro Bowl safety. NFL Network’s Mike Silver reported Thomas’ issues date back to when he became a Raven.
“It was bad last year too,” Silver said. “He was late, he missed meetings. They warned him after he got fined repeatedly. Look, at some point this is going to be conduct detrimental. That’s going to affect your contract. Things picked up right where they left off at this training camp, and not in a good way.”
Silver reported that Thomas complained that he needed more time between practice and meetings and explained that he was late because he needed to get his car washed. That was just days before his blow-up with Clark.
“Earl Thomas essentially said, It’s cool,” Silver explained. “Chuck Clark said, No, it’s not cool. You need to go to meetings and walk-through and maybe you’ll get it. That’s how the fight started. But this was a long time brewing.”
