Yeah he was released because Russell Wilson was about to get paid, and he was approaching inevitable physical decline. He can't really guard elite WRs all game any more. He's just a role player now.jammerhawk":wtnichts said:Lots of obsession here and in the media about Sherman, and to use his line “ he can be beat”. He’s no longer on the team which is too bad b/c he was a good player for the Hawks.
Am disliking his spin of the team is terrible: “they cut me when I was hurt” . Reality is he was cut b/c his salary was $12.5 mil for this year, and he was not living the first rule “always protect the team”. Sure he was hurt but that isn’t why he was released. Simply the team needed his cap money. Miss his ability, but thought he was pretty darn expensive to be a pain in the rear. The only thing he was “in” on was himself. He talked himself off the team.
Will enjoy seeing him on Sunday, loved him as a Hawk, but he’s not here anymore. Good luck to him, but not this Sunday.

Richard's ego won't allow him to acknowledge his problem in Seattle was himself. Going into a season after an injury that materially slows players down, where he was being paid $12.5 million/yr. but unable to practice yet, and was mean mouthing the team and the coaching staff and anyone else that he thought wouldn't respond was a recipe to get himself traded or released. He actively wanted to be traded, but no-one wanted the grief of Sherman at $12.5 million /yr. He got himself released but no part of the blame for that lays upon him. To that I say OK, whatever.
He was great player with the support of the others in the defensive backfield that was the LOB, but he was not the greatest of those players and yet he thought he was, and thus was beyond control. Now he throws crap at the team and various players on the team b/c it's part of his schtick. Playing into his drama only gives him more power and he isn't what he used to be. No player is ever bigger than his team.
I loved him as a Seahawks player for his play, at times his mouth was his worst enemy. In the end he thought he was better than he actually was. The team made a solid personnel decision releasing him for economic reasons and because he didn't really want to be here anymore. The team did him a favour.
