Richard Sherman
Veteran CB Richard Sherman is looking to get back in the league and has some interest, namely from the 49ers and Buccaneers. However, his legal situation stemming from an incident at his in-laws this summer weighs a bit on things. Sherman faces five misdemeanor charges including for DUI and trespassing. He doesnโt expect his case to be resolved until after the season and doesnโt see why he shouldnโt be able to play in the meantime.
โIโve got a decade worth of resume that should stand more firmly than a momentary lapse in judgment. Iโve got a decade of character and tape to be judged off of. If youโre judging me off of a momentary lapse, Iโm probably not the player for you either way,โ Sherman said via USA Todayโs Doug Farrar.
49ers
49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo admits that heโs not focusing on his future with the organization past this season and would love to follow in the footsteps of Aaron Rodgers, who won an MVP last year.
โI donโt know,โ Garoppolo said, via Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports. โTo be completely honest, I havenโt thought that far ahead yet. Itโs one of those things that Iโm still tied up with the season and everything that weโve got going on. If I repeat what Aaron did last year, I would love to do that. That guy โ Imean, MVP speaks for itself. The dude had a hell of a year, though. If I could replicate anything similar to that, Iโd be thrilled with it.โ
Garoppolo is confident that heโll figure out his future once his season concludes.
โBut, ya know, after this year, weโll figure that out when we get there. Weโve got a long way to go. Weโre only a couple of weeks into this thing.โ
Garoppolo added that there is a โgood possibilityโ that heโll reach out to Rodgers on advice on how to deal with his current situation in San Francisco.
โYeah, thereโs a good possibility,โ Garoppolo said. โI know Aaron pretty well. Weโve talked a couple of times on the field, off the field. Whatever little piece of advice he could give to me โฆ obviously, itโs worked out pretty well for him. The guyโs been ballinโ. He had four TDs [last] night.โ
- When asked if he thought there was a chance of being traded to the 49ers, Aaron Rodgers responded that he didnโt feel it was a โstrong possibilityโ: โThere were points that I felt anything was possible, but not a strong possibility.โ (Ryan Wood)
Seahawks
Seahawks HC Pete Carroll is known for his ability to pump up any player on the roster and make them sound like an All-Pro. So in comparison, his assessment of starting CBs Tre Flowers and D.J. Reed as โhanging in thereโ is foreboding. Seattle hit the reset button at cornerback to a degree coming out of the preseason, trading for Sidney Jones and signing Blessuan Austin. Itโs not as simple as just making a switch to one of them, though.
โItโs a little bit of a challenge for us to get him โ and really Bless, too โ to get those guys enough really good reps to see them on our field with us,โ Carroll said via ESPNโs Brady Henderson. โTheyโre accumulating reps and opportunities and stuff as they work and both those guys look good. They look like they can help us. We just have to make the call when itโs time to give them a chance to play. Itโs not a position that weโve rotated a lot of guys over the years so we have to wait and see how that fits.โ
