Schadenfreude. Shah · den · froy · duh. It’s a Deutsche term for the personal pleasure derived from watching others experience misfortune. Wednesday was certainly one of those days for 49ers fans, as reports emerged that the Seahawks traded away longtime defensive standout Michael Bennett, as well as cryptic messages hinting that the team would not be retaining the services of CB Richard Sherman for the upcoming season.
At this point, there’s been no confirmation on the Sherman front. Although the big name CB turns 30 this month and is recovering from an Achilles rupture (from November 2017) which caused him to miss the first games of his career, it’s still a possibility that the Seahawks are planning to earn some value in a trade.
