Seahawks reportedly inform Richard Sherman he will be released

The Seattle Seahawks have informed cornerback Richard Sherman on Friday that they are releasing him, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Sherman’s departure from the Seahawks has been rumored and discussed for several days, with talks of him staying in Seattle, taking a paycut to stay, potentially being traded or being released.

You know, the big four.

There was confusion, some misleading reports, Sherman himself potentially making them worse by what he did and did not tell his teammates and of course, a big long thread here at Niners Nation about it.
