"Extend... if you don't want me let's make a trade happen," wrote Thomas in the caption of his post.

The 29-year-old is entering the final year of a four-year extension he signed in 2014, worth just over $25.7 million in guaranteed money. Last year, the Kansas City Chiefs made Eric Berry the NFL's highest-paid safety afer he signed a six-year deal worth $40 million guaranteed.

If Thomas is still in a Seahawks uniform by then, he will first play against Sherman and the 49ers on Dec. 2.
