So, Richard Sherman has decided not to attend the first of a few optional off-season training activities giving us all something to write about. Given the fact that he has opted to go to these OTAs in the past and now all-of-a-sudden he’s opting not to go, means something.
Short of a life-threatening reason or the birth of a baby, I would say, Sherman is letting the organization know (including the guys in the locker room) that ‘you had me in the past, and now that there are things on the table to be discussed, it’s time that I take a step backwards.
