‘You’ve got to be very smart here’ — Rice suggests cautious approach regarding Earl Thomas

Star safety on open market after Ravens exit

In a Monday morning appearance on The Morning Show on 95.7 The Game, 49ers legend offered words of caution when asked about the potential of his old club adding the newly-released Early Thomas.

“I don’t know, Rice said. “You've got to be very smart here because if a team like the Ravens let you go, it's really making a statement where this guy — where his head is at right now."

The Ravens cut Thomas loose on Sunday morning.

"I really don't know him. I don't know him at all. But for them to make a drastic move like that, I think it's sending a message throughout the league that this guy, he has some problems."
