Mainstream news, and Sherm's too, is that SEA released him and refused further negotiations.
Which I get. He felt abandoned and needed another job, and the 9ers picked him up, don't blame him for being angry toward SEA personally. What I blame him for is his curating the "Uncle Sherm" persona, then pushing his way into a bunch of angry Bears due to that principle.

In this case, it did not matter because Mullens fail Maryed the ball when, logically, he should have run it for another set of downs. Which very easily could've happened.
Sherm's seen as "Uncle Sherm"--a role model for the defense, which is why he said he did it during press afterward. And Kittle backed him up too after the game.
Am I missing anything by seeing this as just a really dumb move, particularly by a veteran?

At this point as a Niners fan. I really did not mind it. A Niners player made a dirty play and the whole bears sideline engulfed him and started the fight (rightfully so) I honestly like that players defend their own team members on any side. So no I don’t think it was dumb. The dude can afford the fine.

Sherman left the hawks on his own? I thought he was cut. So if he was not cut why did he say he was?
No, he was cut, a lot of folks tend to forget that fact.rlkats":qjb7b9x0 said:Seahawk Sailor":qjb7b9x0 said:You gotta wonder just how much Sherman's second-guessing himself right now about leaving Seattle and burning his bridges behind him.

Enjoy the playoffs on TV, Sherm.

Of course.
But just keep in mind: I didn’t choose to leave Seattle.
The Seahawks chose to let me go."
Successful season for Sherman. Played great, only missed a couple (one?) game. Not a successful season for the 49ers.

No, he was cut, but he still left Seattle. There was a lot of bad blood, and while the Seahawks initiated things from a contract standpoint, I could almost guarantee Sherm's still a Seahawk if it wasn't for his actions and attitude.
I liked Sherman a lot. Still have his jersey. Still can't find it in me to dislike him in spite of his attitude toward Seattle now, and even in spite of the fact that he's on an arch-rival team. But, hurt or not hurt, he wouldn't have been cut if it hadn't have been for his attitude, and that's why I said it the way I did.
