Thomas, 29, is entering the last year of a four-year contract worth more than $25.7 million guaranteed, according to Yahoo! Sports.
It’s been widely rumored Thomas could be traded to another team, namely the Dallas Cowboys, after his “Legion of Boom” teammates Richard Sherman and Michael Bennett were traded to the Philadelphia Eagles and Cliff Avril and Kam Chancellor retired. He also held out of the Seahawks’ mandatory minicamp last month.
Seattle’s training camp begin July 26.
