Earl Thomas' home caught fire on Thursday
Earl Thomas survived a huge scare after his home in Texas caught fire on Thursday. Thomas was reportedly at the scene but was unharmed. The cause of the fire is suspected to be lightning.
According to reports, no one was hurt but the plants and vegetation on the property made it difficult to douse the fire. The house is believed to be a complete loss having been caught up in the blaze. It is believed that his mother and another relative were also home during the incident.
Earl Thomas is currently not on any NFL roster but hasn't yet retired from the league. The 33-year-old played nine seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, where he made six Pro Bowls and five All-Pro teams. He also won Super Bowl XLVIII, when the Seahawks beat the Denver Broncos. Thomas last played for the Baltimore Ravens in 2019 and has been unattached since.
Since his release from the Ravens, Thomas met with the Houston Texans back in 2020. While it was expected that the former Pro Bowl safety would sign with the franchise, it didn't materialize.
We will see if Earl Thomas does find a new franchise in the new season.
