Why would ESPN get something that basic wrong? Are you telling me that Thomas and the Seahawks aren't trading Thomas without a long term deal in place with the new team?

Not quite. You would work out the contract with the agent. You couldn't SIGN the contract until the trade was completed. So yes, they would agree to a contract in principle, execute the trade, and then sign the contract.
