MEDIA HYPE, PEOPLE!

They said they would listen to offers. EVERYBODY listens to offers. It cost nothing to listen to offers. It doesn't mean there is a chance in hell of doing anything concerning the offers.

Heard a late first or early second from whom? A speculating blogger? When are you people going to get it?

I'm not going to say that Sherman definitely gets traded, but you aren't really correct in calling this media hype. Because I just heard today that Seattle's GM said the trade talk about Sherman "is real".

Now, when you consider that most GM's and coaches will tell you a report is NOT real, even if it IS real, it's pretty telling that the GM in this case is not denying anything, and comes right out and confirms the talk is real.

So, while you are poo pooing a report, as usual, you might want to check a little more into it first.

You've got a point there Metal.

They also interviewed Shermans brother and he was saying it would be a win win situation. I think there is a good chance that they trade him but I wouldn't break the bank for a almost 30 year old corner. I think we have above average corners we just need health and a pass rush.

Yeah it's sounding like a possibility, at least, but I'm not enamored with the idea, either. He's more name than game, at this point. If he winds up here, I hope I'm wrong about him. He probably can still be good, even outside of that Seattle system, but not nearly what he used to be.

I'm not saying that NOTHING has been said, I'm saying that any talk of actual demands for specific picks and such are media fabricated. I don't doubt that Seattle is open to inquiries about all of their players, as should every franchise be at this time of the year. It is when these speculations about what pick or picks would be needed become taken as actual demands that I blame media hype.

As for Schneider's comment, of course he is going to play along, and most likely embellish. It gives the team more leverage in dealings with Sherman.

Of course you wouldn't admit to being wrong about something. You said they are entertaining the idea of trading Sherman as much as the Pats are in trading Tom Brady (paraphrasing).

Meaning you aren't just talking about demands, you're talking about the likelihood of trading him, period. You never miss a chance to call a report false, without having any knowledge yourself, and then call people out for entertaining whatever the report is about. It'd be one thing if it were some fan site just blowing smoke and we were all making a big deal out of it. But that isn't the case here.

And no, Seattle's GM isn't "playing along". Did you miss the part where I said that most GM's will deny a report even if it is true? Because as long as that guy is still on your team, you don't want to make the situation any more tense than it already is, in case you end up keeping that player. Also, contrary to your opinion, it does not give the team more leverage. Teams can have internal conversations with one another about players. Talking about it publicly doesn't help them and, as I said, only serves to sour the relationship with the player. Which, if the Seahawks are planning on trying to extend Sherman at a discounted price, will not serve them well.

Other teams can sense that, and they will get the idea that the Seahawks probably will want to trade him now rather than let a potentially disgruntled player stay on their team, possibly get hurt, and have ZERO trade value going into the last year of his contract. And all of that stands to drive down his current trade value, due to the 'hawks urgency to get whatever they can, while they can.

That's a pretty good reason NOT to "play along".
