Former Ravens S Earl Thomas shares thoughts on 2019 season with team -  Yahoo Sports

Baltimore, MD – October 1, 2025

Another NFL legend just put points on the board — not on the field, but in the courtroom. Earl Thomas, the former All-Pro safety for the Baltimore Ravens and Seattle Seahawks and a Super Bowl champion, has won a high-profile divorce battle with his ex-wife.

Thomas, who earned roughly $55 million in NFL salary and bonuses from 2010–2020 and has since grown his wealth to over $30 million through investments and endorsements, saw that fortune threatened during divorce proceedings with Nina Thomas, whom he married in 2016.

Court records show Nina sought more than 60% of the marital estate — estimated at about $20 million — along with monthly support of up to $80,000, alleging infidelity and neglect. Thomas’s legal team, however, presented financial evidence indicating Nina had transferred nearly $2 million from joint accounts to shell companies registered under relatives’ names. They also cited lavish spending on travel, jewelry, and private parties — all without Thomas’s consent.

Maryland State Court Judge William R. Matthews ruled largely in Thomas’s favor, finding that Nina had “intentionally concealed and dissipated marital assets.” The decision awards Thomas 50% of the marital property — roughly $10 million — and orders Nina to repay $1 million of the diverted funds.

Crucially, Thomas avoided permanent spousal support. Instead, he is required to provide temporary assistance for one year to allow Nina time to relocate and stabilize financially.

Speaking outside the courthouse, Thomas said: “I’ve dedicated my life to my family and my career. When someone tries to take everything you’ve built, you have to stand up and fight. I believe in fairness — she’s entitled to her share, but she can’t take it all.”

Legal analysts say the ruling could set a strong precedent for high-profile athlete divorces, where hidden assets and excessive demands often surface. Ravens fans on social media hailed the outcome as “an elite interception” — fitting for a player known for resilience and clutch moments.

For Ravens supporters, the victory carries special meaning. Earl Thomas built his name on toughness and perseverance, and even off the field he’s shown again that champions shine brightest under pressure.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
