[RUMOR] Guy on Reddit says Sherman is celebrating extension

[twisted_steel2]

Somehow grocery store champagne doesn't seem appropriate for a $32.5mil celebration...

That too. What kind of champagne can you get at a grocery store?

Now if they were saying they saw the manager at the Total Wine, opening up the locked display case to get to the expensive stuff... maybe I'd bite on the story.

Also like his mom is just saying exact figures of the contract to some random person..... nah.

if you're planning on blowing it all over the room with your family to celebrate i dont really think some higher end grocery store champagne is really the wrong way to go - just because you're getting paid doesn't mean you need to be stupid. You are talking about a guy who grew up in compton and his dad has kept his garbage man job and dude looks like a hard ass, I bet if Sherman spent too much money on a bottle of bubbly his pops would have something to say about it.

I'm not going to guess on the validity of this story but it goes along with what I've been thinking for a while; Sherman's deal was done right along with Earls, and Earl announced first being the sr. guy.

Won't be surprised to hear about the deal being done today.

Wearing my "Denied by RS25/Here's a Tip. . ." shirt today in anticipation.

Our QFC (Sammamish) carries $100-$200+ bottles of champagne and wine. I am sure some of the Bellevue stores do as well...maybe even higher end.

Yeah, I live in Ballard (formerly very blue collar) and there are two grocery stores within a mile of my house that both stock Dom Perignon -- usually have at least a case and a half -- at $120 or so per bottle. Most would consider that top shelf champagne.

 

[Hawknballs]

I think by high end champagne most people are expecting a 60-something million dollar contract to demand a bottle of Krug or Dom for several thousand dollars. Apparently people forget that Sherman went to Stanford and is smart enough to realize how dumb that would be.

Usually Beverly only comes up here for games.......... why is she even here?
I am sure something is in the works if she is up in Seatown (assuming the story is true that they were spotted).

 

[Blitzer88]

I want to believe it, but I don't think this is true.

 

[rigelian]

"guy on Reddit" that says it all.

It would be much more credible if it were "some guy on Reddit". The "some" just adds adds to the air of authenticity.

Pretty sure this is true.

Those numbers are way too low for the best DBack in the game. It would be great for the team if he took that contract but 5yrs. $45 mil with 25 guaranteed would be closer.

Laughing at this :lol:

"Those numbers are way too low.. so I'll make them even lower"

 

[Cartire]

Also, with the speed that the media tweets inside rumors, this would have been reported if had even a bit of merit. The family wouldn't already be celebrating 1-2 days prior.

Math.

That is lower than 5 x 13.5.

 

[kearly]

The numbers sound exactly like what one would expect.

 

[Hawknballs]

yeah not sure what's off about the numbers, they seem like realistic ones to me. I think some people are not realizing the total amount isn't in there even though that's the least important number of them all.

 

[Recon_Hawk]

Pretty sure this is true.

I'll just wait for confirmation more solid than "A Guy on Reddit" if you don't mind. Even if the numbers sound pretty legitimate.

Yup! very true, and after E.T Signing we only have about 13 Million in the Cap Room as shown here in the Link its located in the far top right box - http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/seattle-seahawks/cap/ . this also would beat out Brandon Carr's CB from Dallas Deal which is currently the highest CB deal in the league.

Carr's Deal-5yrs 50Million ,10Million Signing Bonus, 25Million Guaranteed.= Total Deal Worth 85Million

Sherman's Deal-5yrs 65-67Million the 65-67 is from a 12-13 Million yearly, Signing Bonus Similar to E.T at 9-10Million, and Guaranteed 32Million= 107.5Million Deal Easiest Highest Paid CB Deal in The league Bar None!!!

Sherm just tweeted they're celebrating Mom Day early......
