The 2018 NFL free agent cla s , but it won't be without some surprise big names. Headlining those names is that of , the four-time Pro Bowl cornerback who first stunned fans this week by and then, days after fellow Super Bowl champion was , found himself on the open market after on Friday, a casualty of his team's veteran purge.
Sean Mannion Jersey The market for Sherman figures to be big. While the veteran will soon turn 30 and is coming off back-to-back injury-riddled seasons, he's still a four-time All-Pro who played a major role in Seattle's esteemed "Legion of Boom" secondary. Here, we've attempted to narrow the field, identifying the five most likely -- and logical -- landing spots for the all-star cover man: The
Kayvon Webster Jersey need someone to pair with , especially considering is on the way out, and New England has . This kind of move could fit under their salary cap, and it would also confirm that the Pats, coming off their fourth Super Bowl in seven years, are still bent on squeezing every last drop of championship potential out of their time with and Bill Belichick. If this doesn't feel like a Richard Sherman kind of thing to do, then what does? Yes, the longtime Seahawk will always have a place in history as the guy who , but in San Fran, he'd get the chance not only to be a major part of a
Jacob McQuaide Jersey defense with money to blow but to play Seattle at least twice a season. It can be argued that no one is better positioned to offer big bucks to a free agent corner than John Lynch, so if Sherman were willing to endure the hiccups that could come with the 49ers reshaping their "D," he'd surely be welcomed. The aren't exactly flush with cap space, but Jon Gruden and Co. feel exactly like the kind of organization that would embrace a player like Sherman -- his character and his talent, which would be a welcome addition to a cornerback room in need of plenty of help. The AFC West is also as wide open as they come, so it's not as if the veteran would nece sarily be sacrificing a
Deacon Jones Jersey chance at playoff contention. And if his old pal sticks around, there's even more reason to believe he'd prefer staying on the West Coast. This is the rare Sherman suitor that doesn't have a pre sing need at corner. Between and rookie revelations and , the shouldn't be dying for an upgrade, especially if they believe can overcome his injuries. It's also not every day that someone of Sherman's caliber becomes available, and coach Gus Bradley, remember, has obvious ties to the Seattle secondary of old. The feeling here is that Sherman would blend seamle sly into a Chargers uni, not to mention elevate L.A. as
Blake Bortles Jersey a contender. Another AFC West team! Here's the thing: There are plenty of other clubs with more money -- the , , , , -- that also have reason to make a pitch. But none of them, except for maybe Houston, which , offers the playoff potential that Kansas City does. The are fresh off trading away another outspoken corner, , but coach Andy Reid seems like the kind of guy Sherman would love to play for, and his team is still eyeing an immediate postseason run in 2018.
