Ex-NFL general manager says the Seahawks

The NFLs free agency period started off with a bang on March 9 when the surprisingly Anton Forsberg Jersey quarterback . Although it will be tough for any team to pull off a more shocking move, apparently, theres a chance the will give it a try.Former NFL general manager Michael Lombardi believes that Seattle would be willing to trade for the right deal. The well-connected Lombardi, who spent the 2014 and 2015 seasons working for the and has been working in the NFL since 1984, explained his thought .I truly believe, based on what I hear around the National Football League, that the Seahawks would in fact, for the right deal, trade Richard Sherman, Lombardi said.Lombardi also added that the corner position just isnt that pivotal in the Seahawks defense. In Seattles scheme, the corner is really not the most important player in the scheme, Lombardi said.The former Browns general Gustav Forsling Jersey manager then pointed out that getting rid of Sherman could potentially be a good thing for the Seahawks and the team that trades for him. On Seattles end, trading Sherman Jonathan Toews Jersey would free up some serious money because hes scheduled to make $11.4 million (2017) and $11 million (2018) in each of the next two seasons. According to Lombardi, the Seahawks might even be having a little buyers remorse with Sherman. I think Seattle really thought twice about paying Richard Sherman. They felt they had to when they won the Super Bowl, Lombardi said. Now their caps kind of a me s and they need to fix it. So I think the reason they need to fix it is because they put all that money in the corner position in a defense where we feel like you can draft players to fit that scheme. Seattle did it, theyve done it over and over again.For a team looking to add Sherman -- Lombardi specifically mentioned the -- those numbers might not phase them because theyre well below what the top-paid NHL Chicago Blackhawks Jersey corners are making now. For instance, the Patriots just signed to a deal that averages $13 million per year. Free agent , whos being , is reportedly looking to sign a Alexandre Fortin Jersey deal thats similar to Gilmores, meaning Shermans deal is almost a bargain.Now, just because Lombardi has NFL people telling him that the Seahawks are open to a trade doesnt mean it will happen. However, if the Seahawks were thinking about trading him, this would seem like the offseason to do it. Sherman this season, clashed with and battled injuries for most of the year. Thats the kind of combination that potentially makes you expendable.
