Looks like both sides might be sick of each other.

quote:

John Schneider to "Brock and Salk" on the Richard Sherman situation: "What you've seen lately in the news is real. That's on both sides."

Schefter "My understanding is Sherman initiated it, was looking to get out of Seattle" (espn.com)

Good. I've been getting sick of him.

Curious as to why? All the talking off the field?

I mean obviously last year with Thomas out, the defense wasn't their "legion of boom", but we all said and knew that even beforehand.

I think he stays.

Are rumors floating around any particular teams?

His style is so system oriented in the cover-3 that I see he will have a limited trade value or even free-agent value. He isn't a man-up corner. Has a great defensive line and linebackers who pressure hard with Earl Thomas who was elite at coverage and filling space in zones.

Nothing imminent, but Patriots have interest in Sherman. Not expected to be on full pursuit unless they lose Butler. Seahawks receiving greater interest from other teams. (twitter.com)

There's got to be a huge schism between off/def behind closed doors, esp after seeing Sherman yelling at Carroll on the sideline during a game last year.

If they trade him (imo they won't) my guess would be that it's to try and balance the locker room.

Not true; they've played more man in recent seasons than ever before. He's trailed more guys and has also played the slot. He was elite last year. This has more to do with Seattle not wanting to pay a 31 year old CB when his contract is over/get value for him while they can. I think he stays put. Jeremy lane, their NB, is strictly a nickel back, and the other starting CB from last year tore his ACL. They don't have any other corners with experience.

This is all smoke and mirrors to get him to pipe down. I hope it doesn't bite them in the arse

Smoke and mirrors--- the didn't sign any CBS this offseason and they don't have a high enough pick to get a long rangy impact corner to replace him.

They are gauging the market for maybe NEXT year and just blowing smoke at him.

Sounds like we'll trade for him and put him on an island

Calling coaches out, arguing with players on the sideline, whining about everything. It was getting really old.

His year last year was his worst I seen since he was in the league.

He can cover big possession receivers, but freak no he isn't covering elite receivers one on one--the whole field. Elite cover 3 scheme corner who can defend the vertical route better than anyone I've seen in a long time; slants, corner-route etc... Yet, he declined last year anyways. That isn't just me saying that. Others around the league say it too.

Seattle is going to attempt to depart from him now while they still can get something. This has more to do with his performance and business then anything else.

Which is kind of ironic, as Carroll oversaw arguably the greatest offense in college football history. Although to be fair, USC did run a somewhat vanilla pro-style scheme.

I think he'll go to an AFC team but like the Pats and their trades mostly they're not made with another top-tier team.

Chicago has been desperate to find corners

But I don't think he gets traded. Although it is very odd how much the GM and Carroll have talked about trading him to the media
