Seahawks CB @RSherman_25 tells me he’s been released: “They wanted the financial flexibility going into free agency but expressed that they wanted me to return and will be in contact.”

“We’ve had conversations and they’ve told me that they’re going to allow me to go into free agency.”

But they want me to understand that the door’s open for me to return. They’re just trying to do what they need to do to clear up space and give me and them the best chance at free agency, and I’ve got to appreciate and respect that.” Richard Sherman
