Hey guys, what's going on on the Sherman front?

I knew when he called out the coaches publicly that his days were numbered.

No organization can tolerate that.

The reasons it makes sense for the Seahawks to trade Sherman seem to be the same reasons why I think it's unattractive for other teams to trade for him: reaching the end of his prime, big salary, recent attitude issues.

Every player has a price though, just as both sides are pretty much indicating here. Even if you're talking QB. If Indy calls us up and offers Luck plus their entire next 10 drafts, we're making the deal. Of course that's a ridiculous scenario, but it's just an exaggeration to illustrate a point. If offered enough, there's a deal to be made for anyone. This is the oldest and most expensive Sherman has ever been. If we can get the right value in a trade -- whatever that may be -- then I can see the wisdom in doing it.

I agree that was ridiculous, but I'm not sure it's a no-pen line for this organization necessarily. We have had 2 offensive players flip the bird to the coaches during a game and nothing came of it.

I won't say his days are numbered, unless they find a trade partner that has the cap space, assets and desire, then he'll stay right where he's at. In fact I don't expect a trade.

That's not as bad as openly getting in your coaches' faces during a nationally televised game.

I know Lynch was one, who was the other? Harvin?

Well, I guess that's up to the person it happened to. My point was just that we've had players openly disrespect coaches previously without any sort of consequence at all, so I'm not so sure that Sherman's behavior means he is a goner no matter how little we get in return.

Baldwin. He did it in the Philly game when they called the WR pass in the red zone.

I do not think Seahawks will make a stupid deal just to get rid of him.

LOL at Mayor Murray.

I sure hope not. It would be very uncharacteristic to make such a rash move. I wonder how far apart the value of what they've been offered to this point is from the minimum they are looking for to consider the move.

Dont trade him to NE!

He's not going there. They don't have a first.

Read that the FO is looking for a very high draft pick plus a very good player.

Yup, that's should be about right. Lot of good CBs in the draft though, so not the ideal year to get max value. Pretty sure he stays put. Hopefully it motivates him to excel.

He'll stay unless some team breaks the bank. I think the FO made the asking price high knowing no one will bite. The good news to all this is both sides still respect each other.

I think that's a fair assumption. I'm still just having a tough time seeing why another team would want to trade for him at this point. He's 29 with 2 years left on a contract that will pay him a base salary of $11M both years. If you're not a contending team right now, going after an oldish expensive CB doesn't seem like a move to get you there. If you are a contending team now, I don't think most of those have much cap room. Maybe Dallas does.

If there's a team out there that also has an older expensive player they want to unload, and they're willing to add some picks to the deal, then maybe there's a partner.

Listening to 710 right now, and Salk just said that yesterday Adam Shefter reported that Sherman is the one who has initiated this whole dance. He apparently came to the Hawks and asked them to trade him. Seems like this would have been bigger news, but interesting all the same.

This report seems to juxtapose with Sherm's earlier statement about not wanting to leave "his guys" but that he understands it's a business. If he asked for a trade, then indeed he actually does want to leave his guys.

The whole season frustrated the hell out of everyone. Doesn't excuse what he did but that was the most turbulent season the team had in quite some time.

2014: The Harvin drama, Wilson "isn't black enough"
2015: Lynch pulls out of the playoff game on the flight to said game

Last year was filled with drama, but it's par for the course.

Yeah, I agree with that. It's not like 2016 was the first time there's been bumps in the road or drama to deal with. Had some PED issues in 2013 also.

No team is dumb enough to give that up for an expensive aging CB. Wait a minute...hello Cleveland
