Maybe Kelly on here would, uh, well.....You know!

Is this tampering?

Maybe if Sherman was a Jets player. I don't think a player from another team can be charged with tampering.

Correct.  Players can recruit as much as they'd like.  Jamal Adams tried to recruit free agents in Macc's final offseason.  We all saw how well that played out, lol.

It's  awfully  strange for a 49er to be talking up the Jets

[Jets0712]

I just think at 33, he's not worth going after. If he wanted to come here on a team friendly contract to "mentor" young players, that would be one thing.
But why would Richard Sherman be interested in moving to the east coast, to play for a team that just went 2-14. I feel like he wouldn't, unless he really wants to keep playing and the Jets are the only team seriously interested in him. I just think there are much better options out there at this point.

Maybe he’s doing a Brandon Marshall. Ending his last year in NY (NJ). Media capitol of the world.. maybe he wants to take his talents to (showtime) or something like that. So maybe he’s angling for that kind of recognition??

Sherman loves Saleh and is likely positioning himself for a spot on the Jets.

Please pass, Saleh. He won't be worth his contract.

When I lived in Seattle he was literally the soul of that city

[bitonti]

Imagine JD going to Woody explaining the 30 million dollar player who wants to work for a more enlightened franchise 

That's not a conversation either of those men want to have 

[Beerfish]

If sherman wants to come here to be an intern coach I am all for it.  As a player i hope saleh does not go after this guy.

As a CB? Yes. If he moves to S? He could have a good 3-4 years left(he said he wants to retire around 35). He's never been a speedster at CB, he relies on his physicality and intellect to make plays, that translates well to S. This does not take into account his mentorship abilities.

I would not be opposed at all to having Sherman on the Jets in 2021(as a S).

Hard pass on Richard Sherman. 

Sherman played one of his best years of Football last year. Was off and on injured this year but he could be a great on a 1-2 yr cheap deal. 

Would be a great signing.

One word, Saleh.

I disagree.

If Sherman wanted to come here on a 1 year, team friendly deal that would be one thing. But why would a guy who has lived/played his whole life on the west coast want to come all the way to the east coast to play for a team that just went 2-14? I'm sure he probably wants to win and can find a better situation for himself at this point in his career.

[Rep]

Obviously I’d love Watson, but IMO, Sherman needs to STFU. Literally last month, we had to constantly hear from other players/media about how Lawrence should stay in school to avoid the Jets, and it sucked. Just because we are in the “good side” this time, doesn’t mean it’s right. He should worry about himself and his team.

Sounds like he's trying to butter up the Jets to get a contract. No thanks. As a Jets fan I remember how disrespectful he was to Revis when he first came into the league. He couldn't hold Darrelle's jockstrap at that time and he was trash talking the best Db in the NFL. 

[Shockwave]

If the Jets want to be competitive Richard Sherman would be perfect on a 1 or 2 year deal. His salary is going to be low because of his age and the man was the best CB in the NFL in 2019. 

If Deshaun comes here I'd be money hes a Jet next year. Hes the perfect cheap stop gap.

Simple answer, money 

He’s at the end of his career and looking for one last good payday. And good for him. It’s a business after all .

But realistically, he’s barking up the wrong tree if he thinks he’s going to get a big payday from JD.

If JD signs him, HOPEFULLY, it’s a one and one team option...we’re not not going to be spending all our cap money anyway.

I can't see any team offering better value than our offer of 3- #1 picks in consecutive years. Our picks would be higher than most anyone else. 
I would LOVE to see Jamaal's reaction knowing we flipped him to save $75 mil in cap space AND was able to use the picks we got for him into Deshaun Watson!!

he’ll spin that into a demand for watson sized extension.

Sherman was actually pretty solid this year and he will likely come very cheap. And who else would you want teaching/developing young CBs than a guy like Sherman? 

Either way, it's great to see guys like Sherman wanting to come here as opposed to players treating this place like football purgatory.
