[Catufb85]

"reports" from Bleacher Report saying Seahawks are open to listening to teams interested in trading for Richard Sherman.

Assuming a team would have to give up quite a lot and take on that contract, would be interesting to see what that price tag/trade price would be.  This isn't in assumption the Panthers would even consider this move but I can't help but to think Browns and Patriots may be brewing up something.

Actually that contract could actually drive the asking price down quite a bit.

The Shermanator? Pass

Makes me wonder why. Why would a team be willing to trade one of their defensive cornerstones who is only 28 years old and is signed through next season? Seems like there would have  to be something going on.

Trade them Stewart and Worley!

personally I would acquire info if I were the Panthers.  Bradberry and Sherman would be a deadly combo.  his $11 million cap isn't that bad for one of the best corners in the league.  0.1% chances of it actually happen. But I would possibly be willing to make a trade.

Pretty much.

This has "buyer beware" written all over it.

Not speaking only about this particular case, but being willing to trade a player doesn't mean anything. I guarantee you we'd be "willing" to trade Luke if we were offered a boatload by the Browns including their 1sts, 2nds and 3rds the next 2-3 years. Obviously not realistic but if a team is blown away by an offer, any player could be traded.

Total buyer beware....ewww...  I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole!

Sherman has thrived in Seattle due to the system, team, whatever.  Is he the type of player who can step out into a different defense and still thrive?  He's a very smart guy, competitive player, and a leader.  Very good qualities.  Why shop that in his prime with a good contract now?  Something is afoot indeed.

If this was a real thing, you can see someone going for it.  My only thought is that Seattle has a few guys who they think they can draft to replace him.  I still wouldn't do it!

Sure, but there's a difference between that and letting word leak that a guy may be available. That's usually a direct effort to drum up offers. Plus, you don't want to risk word getting back to the player and the lockerroom if a deal doesn't happen. If you let word get out about something like this, you gotta be pretty open to business and willing to take a reasonable offer not just looking to shoot the moon.

Would be a dumb move to let him go in my opinion but I could see a premier team trading for him.

Could just as likely be a nonsense media report as an intentional leak.
