Report: Seahawks inform Thomas they will not address his contract

The Seattle Seahawks have reportedly informed safety Earl Thomas that the team will not be addressing his contract demands this offseason, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Seattles' demands were specific and clear, added Rapoport, and whether or not Thomas reported to the team would not affect its stance.

Thomas has skipped the Seahawks' entire offseason program, including the start of training camp, and is reportedly prepared to hold out until he receives a new deal or trade.

The former All-Pro safety has been very vocal about his desire for a new deal as he enters the final season of a four-year, $40-million contract. He is currently the sixth-highest paid safety in the NFL.
