Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas did not attend the beginning of the team’s offseason program Monday, Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.
The offseason program is voluntary and Thomas and other key vets have skipped some of it in past years.
But Thomas’ apparent absence this season could be more telling because he remains the subject of trade rumors and has said he may hold out if he does not get a contract extension prior to the 2018 season.
Thomas, who turns 29 on May 7, is entering the final year of a four-year $40 million contract signed in the spring of 2014.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider have said in recent weeks the team would consider trade offers for all players, including Thomas.
