Hello guys!
There is word out in Seattle that the Seahawks are open to make a trade for Sherman for the right offer. New England will have a plethora of weapons this upcomming season and what we have at corner isn't close to competing.
If Golson is able to stay healthy, we will have good depth with the addition of Sensabaugh to go with Gay, but how Golson pans out is still a huge question mark. Burns is our best corner and he needs a stud next to him to compete with New England.
Cockrell is serviceable, but we can't afford to have serviceable corners at the starting position anymore. The only other option would be to find a stud corner in the first 2 rounds of the draft and start him. We would need to hit an absolute home run!
By not going after Sherman they will absolutely have to get a starter in the draft. New England has separated themselves and the Steelers are going to have to get aggressive. I'm well aware that Sherman has a huge contract but that can be worked out through a trade with the 2 teams settling on a percentage that both teams would owe him.
Throw in some other incentives such as draft picks to sweeten up the trade, then you have a deal. Will the Steelers do it? No, but they should at least try. It's either make a move or do nothing and play second fiddle to New England again. Ben's window is closing.
