Sherman on the Way Out?

If I was the Browns or the 49ers I would trade for him. The cap hit barely matters to them and I doubt that Seattle would be picky about compensation. For most teams with a more reasonable amount of cap space his situation is a headache.

Agree. He's absolutely worth a 1 year deal for a team with space to burn. Put him on the PUP or carry him until he's ready.

Unless hes cut and agrees to a new deal I don't see how Bill takes on $11m with a already snug cap situation to begin with

I agree, you don’t touch him on that deal.

Dude, I get it. Trust me. However, the incident happened years ago! Why keep crying over spilled milk??? It’s not any of us make personnel decisions for NE. If Talib is signed, what are you guys gonna do??? Boycott NE? Not watch the games??? Stop it. If BB decides this is what’s best for the team, then so be it. Now, you can still choose to remain emotional about something that had no affect on you or your family, but the season will go on.

Get over it.

I don't see how it's crying over spilled milk. Years ago or not, the last time he was here, he tapped out of the biggest game of his life two years in a row over minor injuries that others have played through countless times. The last of which saw his teammate pleading with him to get back on the field. That drives home the idea that he was more interested in preserving his body for the upcoming payday than helping his team win. So yes, it's very relevant. I don't begrudge a man for wanting to make his money, but I do reserve the right to judge him for the decisions that he makes while playing for the team that I root for. That's why I'd rather have Sherman. When healthy, he's the better CB of the two and didn't tap out two years in a row over minor injuries in the title game.

That squad was decimated. Just getting Hightower and Valentine back, to pull two examples, would give the defense a needed boost. And that's not counting the hypothetical Sherman signing and additional offseason moves in FA and the draft. The major pieces are in place at every level. They just need to add a few to be a solid defense again and Sherman would be a big step in that direction.

It will also help if they don't bench starting cornerbacks who played 98% of the snaps for the season. Also that.

I’d much rather have Sherman as well; as you can see by my previous posts. However, it IS crying over spilled milk because it already happened and there’s nothing we can do about. That’s actually the very definition of it. I actually agree with you guys in regards to Sherman vs Talib. I just think it’s useless to keep mentioning what he did in the past, as if it’s going to determine what BB do.

I don't think anyone is making the claim that Talib tapping out in 2012 and 2013 will determine what BB will do. The people talking about that are just using that as a reason for why they wouldn't care to see him back over a guy like Sherman.

It's not spilled milk since it could inform what he does in the future. Just to be clear, I'm not saying it would be a determining factor for me, but it is something to throw into the mix.

Weren't we saying the same thing about last year's secondary before it got on the field and got clowned eight or nine weeks out of the year including to a journeyman scrub in the SuperBowl?

Yeah we were, but I put that loss on the front 7 more than I did the secondary. Sure, we had missed tackles...but do you remember the Eagles OL jerseys being "turned" except for Harrison's rush late in the game? Do you remember Foles being under duress? If we had Hightower in that game....we would have six now....arrrggghhh....

Yeah, we can analyze the game however we like, but I cannot and will never get past the single worst coaching decision in BB's career. Everything else about that game is irrelevant to me.

Now I'm by no means saying the rest of the team played fine and has no need for upgrade; quite the opposite. But it does seem silly to overanalyze the Super Bowl when we all know exactly why we lost.

Which wouldn’t have happened if said starting corner had anything close to the game changing ability of a Talib or Sherman.

Richard Sherman's comments on playing through injuries, made after SB XLIX:

“You just stop thinking about that and focus in on what you’ve got to do on the play. The pain is going to be what it is. If you’ve played this game long enough, you’re usually playing in some kind of pain. That pain just happened to be more significant that day. But you just adapt, you just adjust and try to continue to do your job until you can’t do it effectively anymore. Thankfully, I was able to finish that one. And you’re not coming out. Not in a game like that. It doesn’t matter if the score is 50-to-nothing and you’re losing. As long as there’s still time on the clock, you’ve got a chance to win the game and you can’t give up on your teammates. That’s just how our team is.”

Count one more for Sherm over Talib. He may be mouthy but he's never deliberately tried to decapitate a guy or shot himself in the leg while clubbing.

or ripped a guy’s chain off...

Sign them both. Perhaps they'd be willing to a little less for the 1st year in hopes of creating a fun, super-elite secondary that sets records. If not, 1 of either Sherman or Talib is still fine.

The Super Bowl was his highlight. He not even worth a bag of balls now.
