Joe Thomas makes offer on Dubs-Cavs outcome after Randall jersey promise
Joe Thomas better have been saving for his retirement.
The former Cleveland Browns star left tackle one-upped his ex-teammate Damarious Randall's pledge Wednesday, promising to buy retweeters a signed, game-worn Stephen Curry jersey if the Golden State Warriors defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers for the third time in four years during the NBA Finals.

I'm so confident in my @cavs, if the @warriors win the 2018 NBA finals, I'll buy anyone who retweets this a signed @StephenCurry30 gameworn jersey. Even you @RandallTime. @KingJames https://t.co/zsQp3LxGbu

Ok, it can be any signed, game worn @NBA jersey. Doesn't have to be @warriors.

As of early Wednesday afternoon, Thomas' tweet - which tagged Randall and LeBron James - was retweeted more than 63,000 times. Randall, meanwhile, is at a staggering 730,000-plus retweets in just two days.
Standard Curry jerseys are currently on sale for $84.99 on the NBA's official store. So, Thomas is on the hook for $5,355,000 and counting, and likely much more if he fulfills his promise of signed, game-worn jerseys.
Thomas' net worth is apparently $48 million, according to therichest.com, so it's not like he doesn't have the cash.
Randall isn't so lucky, however. He's in the final year of his four-year, $7.9-million rookie deal, and will need to come up with another ... $65 million (!) to come through for his retweeters.
