Richard Sherman among Seahawks absent for start of offseason program

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is one of six starters absent for the start of the team's offseason program, according to ESPN's Ed Werder.

The start of workouts is strictly voluntary, and Seahawks veterans have opted to train on their own in the past. In addition to Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas and Michael Bennett are not in attendance this year, per Werder.

Of course, with Sherman it's noteworthy because the All-Pro cornerback has been the subject of trade rumors leading up to next week's draft. Sherman has attended the offseason program in the past, as recently as last year.
