what would you trade for Richard Sherman?

[brandon2348]

To go back to the whole "pretty good player" part. Who do we have as a backup that is a pretty good player or who do we have as a pretty good player that we have an adequate replacement for. If you trade away a pretty good player you have to replace him and if you can't replace him with a player of equal ability part of the improvement you get with trading for Sherman is offset.

It seems most of the pretty good players being mentioned by Packer fans are one they want to get rid of because they are either declining or not worth their salary or both. What makes you think Seattle would want those players. That's part of the reason why they want to get rid of Sherman in the first place.

Draft picks are a crap shoot. I would trade the #29 pick in the draft for Richard Sherman. Put it this way, if a player like Richard Sherman was available at #29 would you take him? Yes he would be cheaper and younger but just look at the talent for a minute which is what you are looking at with a draft pick anyway. I would probably even give up a little more like a 3rd or 4th rounder if we could make it next year when we might get it replaced with a comp pick anyway.

I don't know if Richard Sherman would put us in the SB but I am convinced that with Richard Sherman we would have a big improvement on our defense. I'm not convinced that the #29 pick will give us the same level of improvement.

I agree. This would be the best way to handle it. Give them our 1st and give us the highest probability to win now. We would have Sherman for at least two years. This is a deep draft and good value can be gotten rounds 2-5 in this draft.

 

[brandon2348]

We would get Richard Sherman with a major chip on his shoulder too.

Sign me up.

Wasn't sure if I really wanted to join in on this conversation, but with the latest news, I'll bite.

29th Overall Pick
Gunter
Barclay
184th Overall Pick

I put Barclay in there more as a joke but Seattle does need depth at OL and I'm for certain they will seen an OL guy in the first 3 Rounds. Barclay probably won't start, but does give them the depth they need. Gunter I think fits Seattle's scheme quite nicely and with his physical limitations he'll have plenty of insurance with Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor. He could be a decent nickel or dime option for them. With Whitt and Sherman, after 2 years if R&R haven't figured it out, they're solid busts.

Why on earth would the Seahawks be interested in trading an All-Pro cornerback fir Barclay and Gunter???

It sounds laughable at first but Gunter does fit what they do there. Not saying Gunter is Brandon Browner but Browner was no speed demon.

 

[brandon2348]

I think what has to be remembered here is Sherman wants out of Seattle and I don't blame him actually.

Now whether they will even trade him to us or TT would even part with his beloved draft picks is a totally different story.

While that's true we're not talking about acquiring a player of Browner's caliber but an All-Pro cornerback.

I'm not taking about aquiring Browner. I was stating that Gunter actually fits the Seahawks scheme better and speed wise is comparable to a Brandon Browner so he might be someone they would be interested in.

 

[PackerDNA]

The most important thing to consider here, is what effect might it have on comp picks next year?!?(Sarc off)

The Seahawks might be interested in picking up Gunter off waivers if the Packers release him but I can't imagine they would look at him as part of a package it would take to trade for Sherman.

 

[brandon2348]

Probably not

 

[kevans74]

My guess is the 1st and a mid round 3/4th

Hundley's value in a trade like this is intriguing

Sherman is a generational type of cornerback he won't be cheap... but it won't be an ASININE (1st, 2nd, 3rd or multiple 1st/2nd's) either

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

If I am John Schneider and serious about trading Sherman, I am beginning my search for a trade partner first in the AFC and then trying to find a team that has a top 20 draft pick.

If the Packers were in the Market to trade one of their top players, would Seattle be high on your teams to trade to?

Obviously, you have to take what is best for the team in the long run, but I'm not sure TT would be willing to trade what Seattle would ask for from the Packers.

yea i agree

Our 1st is essentially an expensive, early 2nd rounder...

So it will be somewhat difficult to pry him away. That's why I see it only possible for our 1st AND a mid rounder(3rd/4th)... and even Hundley also(Boykin is most likely out of the league now)

But it's not "impossible"... and for Sherman's talent and ability level and track record... it's not "over the top". In other words, I doubt it would take our 1st AND 2nd(pretty significant) or multiple 1s or 2s. (which i wouldn't do either of those scenarios...even for Sherman)

As I'm sure they'd love to trade him to a team like the Jets it isn't all that realistic either to pull that off.

Sherman has two years left on his contract and is 29 so the team interested would need to be a team with a need at corner and also a team that is a piece or two away from a legitimate shot at winning a championship.

What team might that be that would fit that criteria?

 

[kevans74]

The Browns right??

The Packers trading Hundley would result in the need for a backup quarterback on the roster though.

Tolzien or Callahan... sign whichever one

Callahan is under contract with the Packers but I'm not convinced he's capable of turning into a decent backup. Tolzien's deal with the Colts runs through the 2017 season.

Matt Flynn

Guessing any player involved (one that Seattle values) would leave a hole in the Packer roster, whether its a starter or a backup. While Hundley wouldn't be the end of the world for the Packers to lose, I'm not convinced he would be all that valuable to Seattle, even with what is going on with Boykin.

Maybe we can get the Seahawks to include the rights to Marshawn Lynch, if he is serious about coming out of retirement.

 

[brandon2348]

I dont think this is as much as a slam dunk as the Seahawks might find out and will be something obviously to watch.

Many teams may not want to deal with Sherman because of his antics and it makes no sense for Seahawks to keep a player as vocal as Sherman and make him play out his contract if he doesn't want to be there. It could become a hot mess real quick.

The longer he sits on the trade block the better.

 

[rmontro]

Watch Belichick end up with him. Probably the only coach/team he'd behave for too.

NE has no 1st or 2nd round pick to trade. Dallas is capped out. Atlanta is capped out. Arizona is a division rival. Steelers are supposedly interested in Revis.

Carolina and Oakland and GB look like the only real suitors who check all the boxes for Richard Sherman.

I think I heard that Lynch wants to play for the Raiders and would come out of retirement to play for them
