heard on the radio that Sherman is meeting with Seahawks today, and it’s expected that he will be released. If this proves true, it’ll be the first major move of the offseason.
My guess is the Seahawks don't think he'll be 100% next season and the Seahawks would save 11 million in cap space and they can use it.
That sums it up well.He has taken a step back in the last couple of years. His injury is a bad one for DBs & likely will mean he won't be in his usual form for most of next season. Unfortunately, due to his injury, he can't be traded, so it looks like they are just releasing him.
Not only this, I believe Pete is getting rid of the malcontents that cause friction. Shame he held onto the incompetent coordinators for so long though.
Bennett being traded opens $2 million this year and something like another $11 million next year for the team.

If he insisted on 11 million? Yes. His play has dropped the last couple of years and don’t think he’ll be a good asset next year trying to come back from that kind of injury. Now I do think 2019 he’ll be much healthier and worth more then 2018, but not 11million type play. His hay days are behind him, he could still be a asset once he’s a 100%, but that won’t happen this year IMO.Would you be ok with letting him walk though ?

Apparently Jeremy Lane tweeted something that made it sound like Sherman is done here but other than an injury I can't think of any reason why the Hawks would do it. If he is let go, then I can see another run on defensive backs in this year's draft with the other uncertainties there. Getting Griffin last year was a good start towards turning things over to the next generation, but losing Sherman would kick that turnover into high gear.
Bennett gone, Sherman likely gone... those two are the ones causing problems to some degree. Rumor was Earl was also on the trade block but I wouldn't be surprised if Sherman gone is to keep Thomas. Thomas/Wagner are the heart of that D.
Seattle created a huge prima donna team after their Super Bowl win and sounds like Carroll knows it's time to let these guys go... Not to mention these guys are getting old, starting to get injury issues, etc. No sense in paying guys $7-10M+ who can't see the field or are starting to cause mental errors because they're 'frustrated'.
Then focus on signing some new younger talent like Sheldon Richardson.
Oh and get rid of useless ass Jeremy Lane while we're at it, would ya Seattle?
