They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but if you’re Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, who’s found himself embroiled in controversy the last few weeks, then a picture may be worth ten thousand words, especially when it’s posted on your Twitter account.

The enigmatic cornerback, who isn’t afraid to speak his mind, was at the center of a controversial ESPN piece the other week, which painted Sherman as a disgruntled player still reeling from Seattle’s heartbreaking loss to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX, so much so that it has begun to effect team chemistry.

That story, coupled with reports leading up to April’s NFL Draft that Seattle was open to trading the cornerback, has put Seattle in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, and training camp has even begun.

Perhaps that’s why Sherman took to Twitter today to post a picture of himself in his Seahawks uniform with the caption “Love this game.”

It could be his attempt to assuage the worries and fears of fans and teammates, or it could simply be him just tweeting out a photo. But, one thing we’ve learned about Sherman is that he is very smart and aware of his perception, so I think there’s some meaning behind this photo.

Regardless of how things progress from here on out, I think it is safe to say that Sherman may very well be playing his final season in the Pacific Northwest. At least this picture will remind him of the better times.
