Despite a previous report to the contrary, the Seattle Seahawks apparently will listen to trade offers for star safety Earl Thomas, according to NFL Network's Michael Silver.

The Seahawks reportedly want a substantial return for the five-time All-Pro defender, who turns 29 in May.

Thomas has been vocal about his desire for a new contract, and Seattle appears reluctant to commit more money to him long term, especially with a rebuild seemingly on the horizon.

He's spent all eight years of his career with the Seahawks, establishing himself as one of the top safeties of his generation.
