Historically, the Cowboys have actually wanted to take chances on players with warnings, however Thomas rocky year with Baltimore may have dulled their interest. Its likewise possible that the Cowboys are finally comfortable with their safety circumstance after including Ha Ha Clinton-Dix earlier in the offseason.
When he was knotted in a contractual disagreement with the team, the Cowboys tried to pry Thomas away from the Seahawks two years back.

As Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (Twitter link) notes, that wording suggests that the Ravens will follow Thomas for cash.
