Sherman and the Seahawks have had a poor relationship for a while now. Last year, the Seahawks admitted that they were open to trading the star corner. Sherman, who is coming off an Achilles injury, still had one more year left on his four year $56 million contract.

This is a true end of an era. Sherman, who was drafted by the team in 2011, was the anchor of the Legion of Boom, the tenacious defense that lead the Seahawks to a Super Bowl win in 2014.
The question remains: where will Sherman end up?
