Report: NFL executives believe Seahawks will trade Thomas

NFL executives believe the Seattle Seahawks will ultimately resolve their standoff with six-time Pro Bowl safety Earl Thomas by trading him, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Thomas, 29, is holding out of training camp while demanding a contract extension or a trade. He explained his hard-line stance in an article posted Thursday morning via "The Players' Tribune." He has one season remaining on his current deal.

Thomas racked up 88 tackles and two interceptions in 14 games last year. He has recorded 642 tackles and 25 picks in 121 career games.

The Seahawks were rumored to be discussing a Thomas trade with the Dallas Cowboys around the NFL draft, but a deal never came to fruition.
