Requiem for the Legion of Boom: Seahawks Draft for Life Without Sherman

On Thursday, Richard Sherman posted a photo on Instagram of himself standing next to Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor on the football field. "Some things never change," read the caption.

It was a reassuring message to many Seahawks fans, who feared Sherman would be traded during the first round of the NFL draft. That opening round came and went without incident for Sherman. The Seahawks made a first-round deal, but it was to trade down, not to move on from their famously disgruntled superstar cornerback.

Sherman stayed put. The Legion of Boom will be back for 2017.
