DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Sherman and Thomas

With Sherman being released, would we be intrested in filling both needs with Sherman and Earl. Send a 3rd and fix our secondary with two that know each other very well.

You think they would accept a 3rd round pick for Earl Thomas?

I'm convinced if Seattle is going to talk turkey with Earl, any response to a trade below a second round pick would be "ok, thanks, bye" and quite frankly, I think even if we offered our #33 pick overall, first in the second round (which I don't think I approve of), they will ask/require the pot to be sweetened. Plus, you're going to have to secure he's willing to extend his contract here and likely be his last place of playing. He willing to do that?

As for Sherman... as long as I don't listen to him run his mouth, his Achilles is healed properly - I'd love to see him in our secondary. T. Johnson also a notable mention.

Also, welcome to the board!

Sherman is a free agent Conerback who is 30 coming off a very serious injury. I am going to pass.

Was a long time member, but username didnt work anymore....but good to be back.

And it looks like they are gonna be "rebuilding"...and Earl is a FA next season, couldn't hurt to be able to offer something in return and a nice extension as IMO he is top FS in the game. ATM. A backfield of mccourty, thomas, peppers sherman would be a great start before the draft hits. Could allow for a barkley/qb strategy.

With Sherman and Lane being cut, they'll save about $15m, they'll use that to extend Thomas. I can't imagine he's really available for trade, unless someone offers a ridiculous amount. Knowing that anyone trading for him will need to extend him as well, I can't see anyone giving up more than a 2nd.

Regarding Sherman, he's said he wants to go to a contender. I can see him going to New England or Dallas.

agreed, this is the kind of trap we fall into almost every year... big name on the tall end of career, gets that Cleveland payday and snickers into the sunset

Big names like who? Kenny Britt?

Also, do we fit this description:

Richard Sherman is a Patriot waiting to happen.

your right we never sign big names in free agency that don't perform, what was I thinking

What is the definition of a big name? Jake Delhomme?

Willie Mcginest Dwayne Boew, Ben Watson, Ted Washington, David Patten, David Bowens, Scott Fujita, Robert Griffeth.

Just the ones that come to my mind.

None of those guys are what I would consider big names. If that's the definition then I guess the above poster is correct.

I think you both are over valuing what a 30 year old corner coming off an Achilles tear is.

I never said I wanted Richard Sherman.

Andre Rison?

I hesitated to bring that up because of the memories.

I ain’t climbing down that rabbit hole

Geesus is everything a debate or argument?

If you can’t admit FA failures

I know why so many posters don’t come here anymore

That's it in a nutshell.

You got the wrong guy. I just don't think we've had any "big name" free agents by my definition. I am literally just wondering what you meant.

I am sorry if you felt like I jumped on you.

Wait! So Britt isn't available?

Elephant Graveyard approach again? Aging Sherman, issues and injuries. No thanks.

Sherman, no. Thomas, yes please.

Earl Thomas or Honey Badger.. I'd be happy with either.

j/c:

This thread is weird. LOL I'm almost afraid to reply.

I don't know........I think our secondary stinks. I think Sherman and Thomas would help us. Would they be worth the cost? I don't know about that. But man, it's not like we can be real picky.
