Richard Sherman makes a lot of sense right now

100% for it. Without Horn the secondary's a liability again. 

The question is whether he'd even want to go to Carolina.

We're currently the #1 defense in the league.  Why would he not want to come and contribute.  As noted earlier, there is some connection with Fitterer.

My only concern is he still quick enough for our defense.  As a veteran his presence would be nice but if he can't fly around like he used to it might hurt our defense.

The Horn injury sucks but we need to try to avoid panic signings. We are trying to build sustained success, not a Hurney-esque trove of over-the-hill vets in a quest for "this is our year!"

 

Trading for Jared Allen was a good move in 2015. I think it’s a great idea. 
 

Horn was contributing and windows are small. A 1 year deal isn’t panicking.

As long as we don't mortgage our future I trust Fitz and Co. to make a good decision here. I would not say that this is our year, but our schedule is light. If we can get in the playoffs, and get CMC and Horn back by then, anything can happen. I am not opposed to making moves. But no, this year is not a, "Go out and trade a lot of picks for a STUD what the heck ever." We need those picks for sustained success. We don't need to give up future picks for a player now that MAY or MAY NOT put us over the hump. Our window isn't closing, it is opening.

We need to keep reminding ourselves that this is not our year.  We're a promising young team with loads of potential, but realistically we're still a season away from really competing.

Agreed. This has been phenomenal and it shows we might be, once again, ahead of schedule. That's really fuging enough for me.

I don't need a 15 win season(although I would take it for sure). Just keep showing this progress and that the majority of the offseasons moves were right.

Bouye is as good or better. And he plays man coverage. Sherman was never known for that.

 

We want man corners. That's why we got Melvin, Bouye, Horn. Why get a guy who doesn't do that when we  already have the guys we picked up to fill those roles before the draft unfurled?

    • The difference is that Sanders has the work ethic and does work. Johnny didn't. Bad comp.
    • I explained that I was old school and I realize that others have a different opinion.  Being Deion's son is a bit different.   It suggests that his focus is on the money and not football--It is not just the diamonds--it is the dollar sign on the shirt.  Telling a reporter from the Raiders "I ain't going sixth."  Asking another reporter, "Do you know who my dad is?"  When asked what sets him apart from the others, he said that he is mentally more prepared.  Meanwhile, Dad as recently as March Deion, implied he would advise Shedeur to avoid certain franchises--later to retract that position during an interview with Skip Bayless.  You can't take the fact that he is probably a late first, early second round talent and ignore the fact that his comments, jewelry, $ on his shirts and uniform towels might suggest a feeling of entitlement, a person focused on the return more than the opportunity. As I said very clearly--this is my opinion about one person who was raised as a great player's son and how it might rub some the wrong way.  It comes off as entitled.  Fine if he lives up to it, but to me, it suggests that his mind might not be in the right place.  Perhaps he should be focused on humility, his work ethic, and how he is going to earn it--instead, this comes off as someone who thinks this is his reward.  I am sure that others feel the same way, but if I am the GM, I do not want the circus.  Remember Johnny?  I commented at the time that his money gesture would backfire.  It tells me that his mind was not in the right place.  Same thing.
