On Friday, the Seahawks officially released Richard Sherman. The team added a failed physical designation upon his release, allowing the cornerback to be eligible for a $1.15 MM injury guarantee if he never plays again, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). 
The likelihood of that coming to fruition is not high, as Sherman seems intent on playing in 2018. On Nov. 9, 2017, the star cornerback ruptured his Achilles vs. Arizona, but he claims he is just months away from returning to full health.
In a letter to the Seahawks, Sherman thanked the organization, teammates and fans, and penned, “As this chapter comes to a close I am looking forward to what the future holds.”
Though he issued a heartfelt letter to the organization and is reportedly interested in joining the Patriots, the cornerback did not close the door on a return to Seattle.
“They are gonna let me explore free agency with the hope that I can return,” Sherman told ESPN.com’s Josina Anderson (on Twitter). “They just wanted the financial flexibility.”
With the release of the four-time Pro Bowler and three-time First Team All-Pro selection, the Seahawks saved $11 MM against the salary cap.
HELL BE A NEW ENGLAND PATRIOT WITHIN A WEEK
It will be strange to see Richard Sherman anywhere other than Seattle
Do you think he would go to the Browns? They have a lot of cap space.
I really just hope he doesn’t end up on the 49ers!! I would honestly hate to feel obligated to root for Richard Sherman.
He’s a solid corner, on his side of the field, but he also is not a guy who can be moved around. He’s coming off a major injury, and for a CB, who relies heavily on quick twitch movements, bursts of stopping and going, aggressively back-pedaling, changing directions on a dime, etc. Even if I didn’t like him personally, I don’t know how excited I would be for my favorite team to sign him. I think the Seahawks were smart to release him, but they’ve lost, and they will seemingly continue to lose a significant amount of talent this off-season…
Eveb with all of that being said, I still hope Sherman can fully recover, and can regain his form as a top 10 boundary/sideline corner.
You also forgot the extensive holding on every play. lmao
Lol This is pretty funny. I hate losing him but find it funny he is going where he is so hated.
Steelers? Move him to safety..
