(Renton, WA)  --  The Seahawks don't expect one of their top defensive players to show up for workouts any time soon.  Head coach Pete Carroll says he is unsure when All-Pro free safety Earl Thomas will join the team.  Thomas has been absent from the voluntary portion of the Seahawks' offseason program.  He is expected to sit out at least until mandatory minicamp in June.  Thomas is seeking a new contract as he enters the final year of the four-year, 40-million-dollar extension he signed in 2014.
