It's still early in the negotiating period leading up to free agency frenzy on Wednesday, but Jane Slater of NFL Network reports that the San Francisco 49ers have not reached out to safety Earl Thomas' representatives yet.
"My source [in San Francisco] tells me that they haven't even engaged in conversations with Earl Thomas," Slater said on-air. "He's looking for a $14 million deal (average salary). He wants to get paid more than Eric Berry was in Kansas City."
Berry earns an average of $13 million per season under his current contract.
The Cowboys are reportedly uninterested in breaking the bank for Thomas, who grew up a fan of the team. Dallas would not be interested unless his salary demands dropped to the $8-10 million range, according to Slater.
Former New York Giants safety Landon Collins reached a six-year, $84 million agreement with the Washington Redskins on Monday. That is an average of $14 million, which for now, will make Collins the highest-paid safety in the NFL.
The 49ers did come to terms with one defensive player. The team agreed on a four-year deal worth up to $54 million with Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Kwon Alexander.
