Richard Sherman - Robbie - 03-07-2018
Rumors are hot in Seattle that Richard Sherman is on his way out. Traded/released/...
Re: Richard Sherman - RedShift - 03-07-2018
If he's cut, hope the Niners can snag him on a two-year contract. They have the need and the money...
Re: Richard Sherman - OutsiderFan - 03-07-2018
Traded to Dallas for Dez Bryant.

Wait, really? That doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

They are both 29. Both not as productive as they once were. Sherman returning from achilles tear, and Bryant from a down year. A couple once elite players being traded for each other in hopes of rekindling their respective careers. Makes sense from this perspective.
Re: Richard Sherman - JustAnotherFan - 03-07-2018
Looks like the Seahawks might also just want to get rid of those players who concern themselves with bigger picture things such as social justice instead of just playing ball ...

Re: Richard Sherman - fullmetal - 03-07-2018
Bennett is going to Philly for a 5th round pick. That's some good depth for Philly and kind of a steal imo.
Re: Richard Sherman - JustAnotherFan - 03-07-2018
Good for Bennett. But I don't wish Dallas on anybody, especially Richard Sherman. He deserves better. I hope Sherman finds a way to make Seattle pay in the playoffs (even though I simultaneously hope that Dallas never makes the playoffs again).
Re: Richard Sherman - fullmetal - 03-07-2018
By the way, I'm reading nothing confirmed on Sherman's fate at all.Â
Re: Richard Sherman - Nan3cy - 03-07-2018
One more reason to dislike (I think "hate" may be too strong a word for a sports rival -- except for Stanford's rivals, of course) the Seahawks. Don't want guys who have opinions. Horrors.
Re: Richard Sherman - Spiny_Norman - 03-07-2018
There is nothing corroborated about Richard Sherman. This is the source of all of the speculation.

Re: Richard Sherman - OutsiderFan - 03-07-2018
I saw a tweet from Adam Schefter saying Sherman was being traded for Bryant and figured it had to be accurate.

URL?
Re: Richard Sherman - fullmetal - 03-07-2018
Tweet could have been removed...or more likely, from last year. I think there were rumors of Sherman for Dez last year around April, but that didn't pan out. Or it might have been a clever fake account. Twitter accounts and tweets can be so seamlessly removed that you can never tell...

I have no love for the Seahawks, but are we so sure that is their reasoning? Seems like a snap judgment to so quickly condemn them. I know, from listening to sports radio up here, that there are other reasons for wanting to trade him/them, including impending contract talks (esp at the QB position) and a full salary load for the team. In addition, the Hawks are worried about getting older on the D side. Also, I assume they will want to get rid of Dougie if it is just about getting rid of "opinions."
-m.
Re: Richard Sherman - Nan3cy - 03-07-2018
Sure, it's confirmation bias. I don't like the Hawks despite Sherman and Baldwin, so if he leaves they're easier to dislike.
Re: Richard Sherman - lex24 - 03-07-2018
 I cant stand Carroll. But I have no reason to believe that a team in one of the most liberal cities in America is engaging in social justice cleansing. It makes no sense. And just because some reporter spews forth an opinion based upon some supposed unnamed source doesnt make it true. Far from it. Seattle has a lot of ON FIELD issues. With arguments and fights breaking out in multiple games. Perhaps they want to quiet that down. I suspect I could find an unnamed source to support my theory.

The tweet from Schefter was from yesterday. I didn't link it, assuming everyone would hear about it, and Schefter wouldn't tweet something that was just an unconfirmed rumor.

I can't find it on his Twitter account, but I did find a fake Schefter account with a tweet about a Sherman-Dez trade.Â
