Richard Sherman is very much enamored at the possibility of playing with the Patriots in 2018. The Seahawks corner is rumored to be cut by Seattle at any moment and if he has it his way his next landing spot could be in Foxboro.

While appearing on NBC Sports Boston on Thursday night, Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald said that Sherman "absolutely" wants to play for the Patriots and has been intrigued at the prospect of doing so dating back to last offseason.

“There is a lot of intrigue from that side of the country," Howe added. "I can’t tell you it’s his No. 1 option, but I can tell you since last year that Richard Sherman has been absolutely intrigued about playing for the Patriots.”

While Sherman playing under Bill Belichick in a Patriots uniform would be a sight to behold, the corner does come with some question marks if he ultimately signs on with New England. The soon-to-be 30-year-old suffered a season ending Achilles injury in 2017 and Howe noted that he isn't expected to be running until May.

When healthy, however, Sherman is arguably one of the best corners in the NFL. Over the course of his seven-year career, Sherman has been named to the Pro Bowl four times while also being a 3x First-Team All-Pro. In his nine games played in 2017 before going down due to injury, Sherman recorded 35 tackles, two interceptions and seven passes defended.

Pairing him opposite of Stephon Gilmore in New England's secondary would prove to be a more than capable replacement for Malcolm Butler and be one of the more lethal duos in the NFL.
