I can't imagine they have the capital to move that. Wilson is there, so they can't pull a fast one with Grappolo like they might be able to with a QB desperate team. I also don't see any players they'd be able to trade 1-1 (that they could afford losing). But damn, him and Gilmore would be a fantastic pairing.

It's not like losing Earl Thomas, and Sherman is quickly losing his value in Seattle as a player and as a personality. The sides might be getting tired of each other, honestly. Seattle had been in talks to move Sherman before his contract expired before this. What I'd be surprised about is whether or not the Pats actually want Sherman. He's a good 1:1 corner, but he relies heavily on having good safety help and makes a lot of mistakes in coverage on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would mostly be on board, assuming Sherman has at least 2-3 years of high level play left, which is big assumption. I mean, yeah, I sportshate Richard Sherman, but I enjoy his outspokenness and would welcome him on my team. I wonder how he'd mix with the team's general stance on players having "personality." Martellus Bennett may have greased the wheels on that a bit, but his quirks were pretty harmless and creative, while Sherman is a no-shit Angry Black Man who will definitely piss some townies off. Personally, I'd love it if he kept talking and started saying shit about Trump, since he's been pretty willing to call out Bob Kraft for his cozy relationship with another awful incompetent leader. It seems pretty unlikely to me though. Would they offer up 2018 picks for him? I'd rather they just offer Butler $12 million a year and go with the in-house guy. Too many big free agents and this'll start to feel like the Nnamdi Asomugah "Dream Team" that fell over like a big falling thing. This probably just exposes the moral rot of the douchey Patriots though, somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCourty graded out by PFF as a top 3 saftey this season, behind Wheddle and Collins. So Sherman would be a quality fit without getting into salary cap or personality conflicts.

DanteGabriel Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Report is that the Seahawks are asking for a good player and a high draft pick. Haha, no thanks. Please just pay Butler and get on with it. Whatever he wants now will be below market in two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's at least part of it -- Bill and Pete reminding their guys that they're replaceable. ETA: actually I'm not sure how this helps lowball Butler. "And if you don't like it, we'll trade away more draft capital for a guy who's older than you and will be even more expensive than Gilmore!"

James Arryn Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Brian, probably just shenanigans or taking the temperature, but there's an increasing buzz from 'insiders' that QB is very much in play for the 1st overall. This is where you skip MG and we trade the pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good things don't happen, and Kal's mentioning the 18th century Prince Alfred Honerary Awards are cold comfort. So if he drops, I fully expect us to fuck it up, or like a DVA. Of course if we trade for several picks, that's several DVA's so maybe we should think of this cosmically and limit the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
