Earl Thomas is the only original member of the Legion of Boom still standing in Seattle - pending a resolution on Kam Chancellor's playing future - but Seahawks general manager John Schneider believes the safety is still all-in on staying with the franchise despite trade rumors involving the Dallas Cowboys gaining momentum during the draft.

The Seahawks reportedly listened to at least two offers for Thomas and sought a second-rounder for the six-time Pro Bowler, which apparently was ultimately too high of a price for Dallas.

"My sense is that he wants to be here," Schneider said, according to NFL.com's Kevin Patra. "I haven't got that sense from his agents at all."

Thomas fueled rumors about a potential move to his hometown Cowboys after running after head coach Jason Garrett and telling him to "come get me" following a Dec. 24 win.

The veteran safety has just one year remaining on his deal, so even if a trade is now off the table with the draft in the rear-view mirror, his future remains one of the biggest questions surrounding the Seahawks.
