Saints interested in Richard Sherman

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I think Sherman has proven successful at more than just "zone coverage"...

Re: Saints interested in Richard Sherman

Herein lies the problem - Sean wants for a long time...

...But a 2020 calf injury limited him to just five so-so game appearances, and now he’s a free agent before turning 33 on March 30.

That may not deter Payton and the Saints, though. They have a history of gambling with past-their-prime stars, ranging from Sherman’s one-time teammate Brandon Browner to Champ Bailey, Kurt Coleman, Adrian Peterson, and Olin Kreutz.

Re: Saints interested in Richard Sherman

The Saints will bring in another boundary vet opposite Lattimore. Not sure if it's Richard or someone else but we need a proven vet to help & mentor. Consistency was a problem with Latt. Maybe adding Sherm along with the teachings of Kris will bring out the elite, shutdown corner we all believe he can become.

But for me personally, we need to move towards the youth movement & subsequent draft. Take our lumps in the secondary like Tampa did.

Elijah Molden, Horn, Newsome are high on my CB prospects.

I was hoping we landed Awuzie in Free Agency but he's a Bengal now .

The last thing I want is another db from Seattle. The last one committed a Penalty every other play and let the wr catch the ball on the ones he didn’t.

Re: Saints interested in Richard Sherman

It’s not that I don’t think he’d be serviceable, I’d just prefer somebody with more speed. He can play that Cover 3/Cover 1 defense the Saints are so in love with, but I’m not in love with the idea. The thing about fan opinions is too many of them are linked to whether or not they like the player. He could come in and be Darren Sharper kind of catalyst in the secondary. And he does a hell of a lot for the community. I’m with K Major though, per usual.

But '76, has he done it in the last three-four years?

He had an elite 2019 year and a decent 2020 year for being hurt. 2018 was okay, but 2017 was good. I’m warming up to the idea if the contract is right.

Re: Saints interested in Richard Sherman

Slightly off topic, but I just heard an interesting stat. Over the last 5 years, the team that has spent the most on free agents has the worst record record of any team over that span. Thank you Jets! That means they’ve sucked at Free Agency AND at drafting. Wow!

Thought we should have took a corner last draft but I’m sitting home cutting grass and raisin tomatoes
