Earl Thomas’ season and potentially his career with the Seattle Seahawks might be over after the All-Pro safety broke his leg Sunday in the team’s 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Thomas, who held out all offseason in protest of his contract situation and returned without a new deal, was carted off the field with his leg in an air cast midway through the third quarter.
He gave the middle finger to what appeared to be the direction of Seattle’s sideline as he was being taken into the locker room.

Thomas was not available to the media after the game.
His teammate gave some perspective. And LeVeon Bell even chimed in.
The NFL is not an easy job. You have to make your money while you can, and understand the owners don’t really care what happens to you.
