There’s little reason to think that the Seattle Seahawks released Richard Sherman strictly for performance Womens Customized Seattle Seahawks Jerseys , because Sherman was obviously still playing at a high level last season. Instead, it was logical to assume that the Seahawks released Sherman because he was turning 30, coming off of a torn Achilles, and may not be able to stay as healthy as you’d prefer a player to be when he’s got a 10-figure salary.If you think Seattle would still like the player that Sherman is, you’d be right. He played at a high level over the San Francisco 49ers first two games of the season. If you think Seattle did the smart thing by moving on from Sherman for potential health concerns, you may also be right. Sherman injured his calf on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs and it appears he’ll be out for at least a few weeks.Though he was banged up in the 2014 playoffs, Sherman had never missed a single game over the first six years of his career. En total, Sherman has been a near perfect picture of health. Then after nine starts last season, he tore his Achilles and went on injured reserve. A crack in the armor had the Seahawks a little wary perhaps of testing the armor again, so they released him www.seahawkscheapshops.com , a move hated by many fans. It was even more hated after Seattle struggled at RCB to open this season while Sherman shined for San Francisco, but Sunday’s news of Sherman exiting the game against the Chiefs made it a little more understandable that not all moves are based on talent.There are cost considerations and considerations of how many snaps that player can play.I think we all hope for Sherman to make a quick recovery and to not get injured again — even though we also probably hope that he comes back and plays poorly. At least against the Seahawks in their two December meetings.Unrelated, but related:Seahawks release Jon Ryan, who bids team and fans farewell in emotional statement After ten years, two Super Bowl appearances, and a Super Bowl win, Jon Ryan’s days with the Seattle Seahawks are now over.Ryan tweeted out an emotional statement on Monday thanking the Seahawks organization, the city of Seattle, and of course the fans.If you can’t see the tweet for whatever reason, the full statement is as follows:NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport noted that Ryan asked for his release and the Seahawks granted it Seattle Seahawks T-Shirt , so the punter competition between him and rookie Michael Dickson is over. In terms of cap space, the Seahawks save $2.6 million this season, which is the penultimate one of Ryan’s contract. The writing was on the wall the moment Seattle traded up in the fifth-round to take the Australian phenom out of the University of Texas at this year’s draft, and now the sad day has come. With Ryan’s departure, the Seahawks now have no one on the roster from the Mike Holmgren-coached, Tim Ruskell-managed 2008 squad, so it’s the end of an era on multiple fronts.Thanks for everything, Jon.
