Richard Sherman expects his free agency to last at least a few more weeks. During a recent episode of his podcast, the veteran cornerback said that the upcoming draft – coupled with his age — has him in a holding pattern. 
“Well, apparently we got to wait ’til the draft happens before anything else shakes out, because everybody has their hopes and dreams in the draft, which is understandable,” Sherman said (via Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area). “You turn 33, and then it’s like, ‘We’ll wait until we get a young pup; and if we can’t get a young pup, we’ll take an old fool.’ So that’s where we’re sitting.”
Sherman recently said that he’d be open to a reunion with the Seahawks, though it’s not clear if the interest is mutual. On one hand, the Seahawks could use a corner who is familiar with the defense, seeing as how they lost Shaquill Griffin to the Jaguars in free agency. For now, they have Ahkello Witherspoon, Tre Flowers, and D.J. Reed among their CBs, but they may prefer to go younger and cheaper.
The Saints were also said to have interest in Sherman last month, though that’ll require some creative accounting given their cap situation. Also, a few days after that report, the Saints re-upped defensive back P.J. Williams on a one-year, $2.3MM deal.
Guy is washed up
I disagree. He can still help a team. I think he’s got a year or two left as a solid CB2
He’s got leadership skills, but if u run a 4.4 he’s toast
He barely ran sub 4.6 out of Stanford. Didn’t seem to bother him. He balls. Fiery competitor. He probably runs 4.75 now. Still can play. Interesting someone brought up Woodson. Didn’t he move to safety as an older player? I think Sherman could play a little safety. Why not?
I think trying him at safety would be a great idea. Could give him another 5 productive years if it works out…
Charles Woodson had some of his best seasons at age 33+. Knowledge of the game helps make up for loss of speed.
Jeff Gladney pro woman-beater out, Richard Sherman in? I mean if Zim doesn’t get to pick three CB’s in the draft, could Peterson and Sherman coexist and fit with the rest of the CB room?
I hate to say it but that might not be a bad idea. It would sure light the competitive juices. They have always compared themselves to each other. Could get a competition going hopefully friendly. Make each other excel.
I would like to see him back in Seattle for his last few years. He was always going to retire a Hawk let him do it right. Just don’t let him have any of those ugly SF colors near him ion the HOF. Hawks colors only.
Sherm is still a great player. He’s one of the most physical corners in the game and still has the instincts and ball skills. Also probably the best tackling corner in the game.
Just worry about about him holding up over the next few years. He’s dinged up constantly these days
“We’ll take an old fool”…you’re not that old, Richard
He got the other part (fool) right though…
I see him in dallas
