Seattle Seahawks: Unrest with Richard Sherman may linger

[Jenkins]

After an offseason where the Seattle Seahawks shopped Richard Sherman on the trade market, an in-depth look suggests that the unrest may not go away.Shockwaves were sent throughout the NFL earlier in the offseason when the Seattle Seahawks were reported to be shopping Richard Sherman. Given what the veteran cornerback has done in his career, fans immediately began assessing how he d fit on their roster. And for most teams lacking in their secondary, trading for him seemed like something to explore at the very least.Of course, that exploration from both front offices and fans led to an ultimate conclusion Sherman at his age isn t worth the price the Seahawks were asking. They wanted multiple first-rounders — or even just a premium first-rounder — in exchange for the fiery veteran that could be seeing the downside of his career soon Quinton Dunbar Jersey. And that before you even mention the hefty price tag he d put on a team books.Article continues below ...Somewhat lost in the speculation about where he could land, though, is the situation in Seattle. There were multiple conflicting reports about whether it was Sherman or the Seahawks who first floated the trade Russell Wilson Jersey. What was clear, though, is that there was some sort of unrest in the Pacific Northwest.On Thursday, Seth Wickersham of ESPN released an in-depth look at the situation. At the heart of Sherman malcontent in Seattle is their Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots https://www.seahawksapparelstore.com/Seahawks_Jamal_Adams_Jersey-213. As fans will remember, that would be the one with the game-ending Malcolm Butler interception as head coach Pete Carroll elected to throw rather than hand off to Marshawn Lynch on the 1-yard line. According to Wickersham, Sherman remembers that too.More from NFL Spin ZoneOakland Raiders Marshawn Lynch sitting out OTAs a smart call13m agoChicago Bears Victor Cruz a solid move for youth development45m agoNew Orleans Saints Biggest challenge in NFC South?2h agoNew York Jets Patience is essential and acceptable3h agoGreen Bay Packers Why Aaron Rodgers can be even better in 20173h agoKnown for his intensity, from yelling at coaches to yelling at teammates to yelling about Michael Crabtree, Sherman is a vocal presence and leader for the vaunted Seahawks defense. However, Wickersham notes heavily that he takes everything to heart.

He made it personal.It your fault we re not winning.It wears guys thin.That level of holding people accountable is something that he apparently is still doing with Carroll over the Super Bowl loss. What more, it also likely at least part of the reason why the Seahawks were willing to explore the trade market. And the thing about a player or person wired to hang on to things like that is that it isn t going to evaporate. Furthermore, is it that far-fetched to think that it might boil over more so after this offseason given the events and reports?Even if not Chris Carson Jersey, it clear that Sherman welcome in Seattle is being worn out to a degree. The team is still talented, he still a leader on the defense and said defense will remain effective. But how healthy is it for a locker room if one of the team leaders is wearing guys thin? The short answer not very.Whether it bitterness over the Super Bowl loss to New England or other types of anger growing within Sherman, it doesn t seem like the sense of unrest is going anywhere.

Considering he was almost traded this offseason and now seeing reports such as Wickersham , that point might be closer than some realize.
