Richard Sherman makes a lot of sense right now

What the heck is a "rebuild mode'? Did they bring it Haasan Reddick, Daquan Jones, Morgan Fox to help rebuild? Hopefully the Panthers organization are trying to win games, especially sitting at 3-0 and leading the division through the 1st quarter of the season. If Sherman can help the defense in light of Horn's injury sign him.  

One doesn't drain every last bit of cap space and draft capital for win now mode, if you don't expect a deep playoff push.  You carry over that space and leave that draft capital for the next year, and combined with current player growth, hope to add what is missing with the draft and have more cap space to acquire new and resign current rostered players next year.

I doubt it would take the Panthers backing up the brinks truck to acquire Sherman, he isn't on anyone's team currently so also wouldn't be any need to give up draft capital. 

No one expected a career backup named Jake Delhomme to start for the Carolina Panthers in 2003 much less lead that team to the Super bowl.

We currently have the second most cap space available. I know we probably want to carry it over to next season but we could off a 2 year deal and front load the hell out of it so it has little effect on next years cap space.

We have about 20 in cap and his last cap contract was about 14 mil  a year.  With multiple suitors, I would expect his hit to be north of that.
