[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 717928, member: 12283"] In my opinion, there are a number of factors contributing to shopping Richard Sherman. #1, I won't try and diagnose him on the internet but he generally [I]acts [/I]like a narcissist in the media. He is constantly reminding everyone (convincing himself?) of how good he is and how bad other players are that he doesn't like. Lately, he's publicly criticized his own coaches, justified it, and then frozen out any media who were critical of that action. It's very possible that all his garbage we actually see/hear is just the tip of the iceberg and that the team is getting tired of his act. #2, Forward looking franchises often try to flip aging stars earlier than expected for some sort of compensation. New England has often done this (Richard Seymour comes to mind). Sherman is still on top of his game, but he's 29. Seattle is likely weighing the options of losing out on his last 2-3 good years but getting premium draft picks vs. taking those last years, but getting nothing when he moves on. And while I don't think they're in cap trouble, moving his cap hit in the process wouldn't hurt. #3, This is probably the most overlooked, but cornerback just isn't the premium position in that defensive system that it is in others. I'm not saying it doesn't matter and I'm not saying Sherman isn't good, but ultimately that defense is fueled by two things: Getting pressure with 4 and a guy named Earl Thomas. Sherman is great regardless, but that system makes him look better than he actually is. He's often put on a level with the true elites like Patrick Peterson or vintage Revis, but he isn't actually on their level. He's never done with any kind of regularity what those guys did consistently-- single cover the opposing #1 and shut them down. With all that said, I would not be in favor of trading for him. His price tag is going to have his performance in that defensive system baked into it-- which means someone is going to overpay for a guy who will almost certainly take a step down in a different system (again-- not saying he would ever be anything less than very good, but he's not elite). Plus I personally find the guy insufferable. [/QUOTE]
