Vikings Territory: Richard Sherman Is Still A Free Agent

Press release from Vikings Territory:

July 8, 2021

There are still some big names available in free agency that could help the Vikings in one way or another going into the new season. On offense, the Vikings are pretty set but a solid wide receiver 3 that can come in and give instant production would be a very welcomed addition to the roster. Most fans, however, will agree that if there will be any reinforcements still to come in it would be on the defensive side of the ball. The Vikings have done an incredible job in free agency making sure their defense is never as exposed again.

However, a name floating around [still] is Richard Sherman. The Vikings have already spent a lot of capital on defensive backs and have even added veteran leadership with Patrick Peterson at the position. But you can never have too many veterans when you are a team with championship aspirations.

Sherman is one of the few players in the league that would add value to your team even if he doesn’t play a single snap. His experience and bright mind will go far in being one of the final pieces in a championship team. Sherman would give Zimmer huge support not only on the field when he is healthy but off the field mentoring the younger guys as well as scouting reports. Besides, how many teams can say they have 2 of the best cornerbacks of this generation on their team?

In a recent interview Sherman said, “I want to go a team that is competing for a championship, so that is what I am focused on and waiting for the right opportunity, when it comes that’s where I’ll be.” The Vikings would be perfect for Sherman, should they decide to make an offer. A team that is making a serious push this year and a team that has the cap flexibility to make a move. A move to Minnesota could be in the best interest of all parties involved. On one hand, the player gets another opportunity and joins a contender and on the other, the team continues to add experience and leadership to the roster.
