I don't even want to read this thread with the fear of the ignorance I know I'll find.

He talks. So, what? He got carried away in the interview, but I'd be hype too after making the game winning play. Doesn't anyone remember Bart Scott? He was pretty damn hype too after the Jets beat the Patriots to advance in the playoffs (AFCCG I think). This time it's just magnified because Sherm has a history of talking. Sherman is smart and calculated. He's also very respectful and passionate off the field. I guess people just don't know because Seattle is nestled in the PNW and are now thrust in the spotlight for all to judge. You shouldn't. Sherm is that dude and a guy you want on your team. Get over it.

Fox stated that he will be going to free agency. He is currently making 600k a year compared to Revis @ 13mil per year.
He is extremely popular now with over 270k hits according to his agent.

There's some teams (like Oakland) who are WAY under the salary cap as well.

I don't know about each teams salary cap. I did hear that opposing conference teams would be interested in having him simply because they don't want to face him. I can't remember where I heard that statement. I thought it was on a pre-game show.

earl thomas and sherman are both up for re-structured deals having completed their 3 years in the league (free agents after next season) - seahawks are getting a lot of value out of the QB and corners positions, both are ranked 31st in salary by position...my thinking is that they will try to re-work earl's deal now and then franchise sherman next year if they have to...if both want to get paid top dollar, it will be tricky, but as of now seattle has about 38 million of salary cap room for 2015, more if it goes up as expected...Seattle GM Schneider builds the team using a spreadsheet that projects 3 years ahead, im sure they have a plan

It would be foolish not to have a plan. I'm sure they have one.
I don't imagine in today's market that there is much loyalty to a team. I certainly would want all of the $$ I could get especially if I deserved it.

i tend to agree...to me, there is little difference between 30 and 40 million dollars, but I live in a different world

Sadly, this whole idiotic situation is a net positive for Sherman. There is only publicity…most publicity, good or bad, is beneficial.

I'm a PR professional and this couldn't be further from the truth.

Ask yourself how good the publicity was for the IRS after it was discovered they were targeting the Tea Party?
How good was the publicity for Aldon Smith after he went into rehab for his drinking problem?
How good was the publicity for Ron Artest following the fight in Detroit?

All negative and nothing beneficial at all.

I found out this morning that his 'Agent' is his brother so take what he says with a grain of salt.

NEW YORK » Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was fined $7,875 for unsportsmanlike conduct/taunting in the final minute of the NFC championship game against San Francisco.
Sherman's fine was confirmed by the league today.
Sherman was flagged after he made a choking gesture toward the San Francisco bench that he said was directed at quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Sherman had just deflected a pass intended for Michael Crabtree in the end zone that was intercepted by linebacker Malcolm Smith and clinched Seattle's 23-17 victory.
Sherman ran over and after tapping Crabtree on the backside and extended his hand for a handshake. Crabtree then shoved Sherman in the face. The All-Pro cornerback then made the choking gesture.
Sherman was the only player fined in the game.

He deserved the fine imo as that was total unsportsmanlike. Go run after a guy you just beat as he is walking away from you to shake hands? Then give a choke sign to the QB? Bush league antics. Champ Bailey would NEVER have acted like that.
