Sherman on the Way Out?

[slash83]

Seattle isn’t trading him within the division.

 

[Love The Drake]

Yeah til we see the Rams traded for Sherman this is fake news.

 

[VectorPrime]

We are much more likely to be able to work out a reasonable trade with Seattle than with Denver. Denver hates us and would have asked for more than the Rams gave them. Petey in Seattle on the other hand is friendly with Bill and would probably do him a solid and just ask for some really low conditional pick. They’re gonna probably release him anyway, if Bill just needs to offer a late 6th to make sure we get him that’ll be fine.

Yeah, other'n repeatedly pissing all over the Offensive Coordinator in public and generally acting like an ass, Sherman's been aces as a teammate.

And I have little use for Players who operate otherwise.

So this is the part I'm curious about, the "generally acting like an ass." The Bevell comments were bad form and happened on two different occasions. That's all I am aware of. His teammates have by all accounts adored him, and he's been extremely loyal to them. If we're still upset because one time he yelled about Michael Crabtree five minutes after making the biggest play of his life, that's a bit of pearl clutching as far as I'm concerned.

We could do a trade and restructure.

Why would he agree to that?

 

[Love The Drake]

Why would he agree to that?

He wants to be a Patriot

 

[luuked]

He wants to be a Patriot

He wants to make money.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

He wants to make money.

He wants to win

 

[maust]

He wants to make money.

He wants to win

The two are not mutually exclusive. Reference Mevi$, Darelle or Manning, Paidaton.

"We."????

His defenestration of Crabtree was in Sherman's favor, for all'f me, Straw Man Seeker.

I don’t see sherman as the type who would put money over winning.

 

[VectorPrime]

Too many Pats fans live under the delusion that the Pats are the only choice for a player if they “want to win” and that if they go anywhere else they’re just in it for the money.

Given that Denver is in the middle of a rebuild I dont think they really cared where Talib went. They wanted to maximize their return. The reality is that we were never in on him via trade because his contract would have been too much. Similarly, it is extremely unlikely that we would be interested in a trade for Sherman and his big ass contract.

It’s 9AM in seattle. Pete carroll is probably eating his morning donut right now instead of releasing sherman...arrgh. Just do it Pete!

That is so cute...

 

[Love The Drake]

To secure him he'd have to be signed by Monday or you risk losing him if BB is even interested in him.

Speaking of donuts.... RJF isn't being re-signed.

Veteran DT Ricky Jean Francois, through his PR agency, released a statement Friday that he is moving on from the Patriots after appreciating what the organization did for him: "I plan on continuing to play at the highest level. Hopefully I made a strong case for myself this past season. I did absolutely everything I could to help the Patriots during my short time there, and I learned that playbook immediately. It takes a special type of player and discipline to do that so quickly. My priority right now is to find a stable home where I can step in and make a similar impact for a few more seasons before I ride off into the sunset. … I'd like to thank Robert Kraft, Coach Belichick, Coach Patricia and the Patriots front office for allowing me to be a part of something that not a lot of players get the opportunity to do - play for the New England Patriots. Playing in Foxboro made me appreciate this game a lot more. Thank you to everyone there for giving me a great experience that I'll remember for the rest of my life."

Let’s wait and see even if he’s released today.

Didn't imply that he would. Both of the aforementioned managed to do both. Having both is nice...

...when you can get them
