Texans Don't Plan To Sign Earl Thomas

Sep 30, 2020 8:27 AM

The Houston Texans do not plan to sign Earl Thomas, according to a source.

The free agent safety met with Houston and underwent a physical. Thomas had a workout scheduled, but it did not take place.

Bill O'Brien told Thomas' agents that the NFL required the Texans to cancel Thomas' workout because of COVID-19 concerns.

However, a source said the decision not to sign Thomas wasn't related to COVID-19.

Tarik Cohen: Deal 'Left Some Money On The Plate' For Allen Robinson

Sep 23, 2020 8:48 AM

The Chicago Bears gave Tarik Cohen a contract extension over the weekend, but Allen Robinson's future with the team remains in question.

Cohen received a new three-year worth up to $18.25 million.

"Regardless of whether I got mine or not, it's definitely time for [Robinson] to get his," Cohen said. "I even left some money on the plate. I took less so he could get more, so to say. I would definitely love to see my boy get extended. It means a lot to the team."

Cohen and other teammates have been at the forefront of pressuring Bears' management to lock down Robinson.

"We'll see how these injuries go, but I love Sanu," Shanahan said. "He's a hell of a player, so him being out there is always a possibility ... I wouldn't rule that out at all. He's available and he's definitely a guy I really respect and I think everyone in this league respects. So, we'll see how it goes this week."

Sanu was expected to report to the 49ers on Tuesday night. Due to COVID-19 protocols, the earliest the wide receiver could practice is Friday.
