We Need to Trade for Richard Sherman!

[Stash]

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

That's a really bad idea.

Yeh,and though I liked Richard Pre-Draft, the way the the DBs fell into the laps of the Dallas Cowboys in a history making depth of position need, you can keep Sherm in Washington.

 

[Derinyar]

For those who want Sherman. What are you going to give Seattle? What is the new contract that you are going to give Sherman look like? Or if you think you can convince him to not want one how do you fit in his 11 million for this year?

My guess is your answers have to be a 1st round pick and a player and a new contract. The new contract is probably going to need to be better then Peterson or Trufant, so that's about 13 a year for 5+ with about a 30% guarantee. So you have to give up major assets for him and likely sign yourself to what's quite likely to be a terrible contract before its over, and probably redo either Witten or T. Crawford to do it. To me that's quickly becoming a yuck scenario.

 

[Angus12]

Instead of trading assets for an aging, expensive player just click on the create player button. You can make a 7'2" 300 lb cornerback that has 100 speed, 100 agility, 100 awareness, 100 catch, etc... Unstoppable.


Wait. Were you talking about REAL football and not Madden?




Sorry. Carry on, then.

 

[dwreck27]

If I'm trading next years 1st it's only for a semi young in his prime legit pass rusher who we know will get us 10-12sacks easily

Oh and I guess throw on carrol as a thrown in as well

 

[viman96]

Everyone still talking about wanting to trade for Sherman is going to ignore that Carrol said it is not going to happen?

pass rush makes the secondary, not the other way round

50 / 50

 

[Echo9]

no on Sherman, the guy gets away with a lot of interference calls because of the way the Seahawks secondary plays, the refs are just too embarrassed to call every pass a penalty,.. Here he would not get away with it and we have an overpaid, penalty flagged, continuing drive, exposed CB. Go with the backs we got. Pass rush is what needs to improve and hopefully the Cowboys have added some weapons there with the draft, Tapper, and Jaylon. Cowboys needs to come up with great defensive game plans that take advantage of the new speed.

This is the truth. Sherman is still a very good player, but the calls would go differently here in Dallas. His career has peaked and we'd be overpaying for a guy about to hit the downside of his career. This is just the kind of move that has burned us in the past.

 

[chagus]

Wow. Ummm... no.

 

[iceberg]

Would trade one of our CB's (Carroll or Scandrick) and next year's 2nd rounder for Sherman. Someone posted a thread about getting another "Charles Haley" to get our defensive line over the top like '92. Along with our draft picks, Sherman would be the final addition, our 2017 version of Charles Haley, that would take our secondary to the next level. Our secondary could be the strongest it's been in years and would help an average pash rush.

i really have come to hate "name recognition" postings.

 

[CF74]

This isn't the 90's, too expensive for cap reasons...

 

[Sandyf]

Sherman would not be good for many reasons. One, if you watch a lot of football you would notice that QB did not shy away from throwing Sherman's way last year. Was it an off year for him or the inevitable diminishing skills. Two, not a great locker room guy which is important to any team that wants a Super Bowl especially with young talent and a lot of it. Three, his salary is $11 million each of the next 3 years meaning even if you extend to lower the cap hit, it is going to mean 5 years of cap hit for those lesser skills. Four, no one corner is going to make or break this team. Would he help, probably, but it wouldn't be enough. Five, he does not fit the Marinelli scheme meaning he would be upset and in the coaches face and player faces, and we frankly don't need that type of guy.

So in short, no way I give up any players or picks for him. If we trade Scandrick, and that is a big IF, then we gain a pick which is much better in this case instead of giving one up.

I have full confidence our new guys will be NFL ready come game 1. No need to get an aging vet when we had the best defensive draft out of every NFL team IMO.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Sherman would be a bullet to the head of our salary cap. Great player, but no interest in buying in high on him and losing a pick in the process. Better ways to spend our resources.

With Romo coming off the books for the next three years, we could take on the deal easily but I would rather use those resources down the line when a pass rusher like Ingram becomes available.

I wouldn't trade picks for Ingram but I would certainly pay the man. Doubtful they will pay him next year when the franchise amount escalates. Heck, he still hasn't signed and it could be rescinded.

Pass rusher and backup QB are the only spots it really makes sense to use cap space.

This thread

 

[xwalker]

Disagree! Sherman could EASILY give us 3-4 more productive years. He's still in his prime and would provide us with the lockdown corner we need for this defense to be elite. I can't say enough about the talent we drafted for the secondary. Sherman's experience, talent, and toughness would be the icing on the cake!

Slowish DBs generally have shorter careers than the elite speed guys. The elite speed DBs can lose speed as they age and still be fast enough (See T.Newman and Charles Woodson).

Physical play only goes so far, you have to have reasonable speed to play CB.

Sherman's contract is 11.5M and 11M.

Drafts pick are a salary cap management tool. Good teams (generally) either draft young inexpensive players or spend cap space on veterans. They don't use both draft picks and big cap space on the same player.

If they wanted to spend big on a player, they could have signed one in free agency and it would not require any picks.

There has to be a reason that Seattle want to dump him.

 

[CATCH17]

Our resources need to be spent on a young stud pass rusher and not an aging corner who will only give us 2 maybe 3 good seasons.

spend available money on the DL

 

[Vinnie2u]

Let the Commanders have him.

Ask the Panthers how that worked out when Norman left
