It is really surprising that Richard Sherman continues to be the subject of recent NFL trade rumors. Apparently, the Seattle Seahawks are no longer shy in admitting that their cornerback is still on their trading block. Is this good for the 29-year old cornerback who appears to be nearing his prime?
These Rumors Seem To Be Conflicting
There are conflicting NFL trade rumors surrounding Richard Sherman lately. On one hand, John Schneider, Seahawks General Manager, says he is not expecting to trade their cornerback. However, he did not entirely say it is impossible. This led to some NFL pundits to believe that the Seahawks are actually trading Sherman after his erratic 2016 performance in the field.
It Seems The Rumors Are Becoming True
They based their conclusion on the statement of Mike Lombardi, a former NFL executive who said he has heard that the Seahawks are open to trading Richard Sherman. A further statement from Schneider given on April 5 seemingly verified the NFL trade rumors surrounding their cornerback. Schneider's statement revealed that these Sherman trade talks were "real."
Was It Richard Sherman Who Started It?
There were also reports saying that it was Richard Sherman who initiated the trade talks. Some NFL trade rumors even quoted Sherman saying "both sides were listening," and that "no bad blood" seems to impede the talks between player and team. However, it is uncertain which NFL team he is referring to.
