There is so much heat whenever someone steps on the gridiron. The pressure coming from the front office and coaches along with the confusion when it comes to running schemes are big contributing factors to this. This is very normal in the NFL but sometimes players tend to get carried away. A glaring example of this is Earl Thomas. What happened to the Seattle Seahawks and Baltimore Ravens star? Did it affect his net worth?
Earl Thomas has not been in the NFL for a fair amount of time. He played safety for the Seattle Seahawks and earned seven Pro Bowl selections. A lot of squads wanted him due to how defensively brutal and versatile he was. However, all of that success was halted because he punched Chuck Clark who was his teammate in the Baltimore Ravens system at the time.
Prior to the altercation, Thomas was given a historic franchise-setting deal by the Ravens. He was supposed to earn $55 million with $32 million of the cash being fully guaranteed. However, the front office and coaches decided to cut him from the team due to his misconduct. He only ever ended up being with the Ravens for about a year and a half. No team has picked him up from free agency ever since.
Nonetheless, he still notched quite a pretty penny during his nine-year NFL tenure. His total career earnings have gone up to $79.4 million. This meant that his net worth would be up to about $26 million. These numbers would have grown if he had not got into the altercation with his former Ravens teammate. Despite this, he is still considered one of the best members of the Seahawks' Legion of Boom.
