Seattle has had its own CB injury issues. Maybe a return there would make sense? Trade deadline is tomorrow so we'll know soon enough.

Seattle doesn't have any cap space to bring on Sherman's salary, and I think they learned last year with Marshawn that you can't relive the past.

Is Sherman's salary all that punitive?  Wasn't it heavily incentive-laden (for which Sherman was criticized)?  Regardless, I agree that Sherm is on his last legs, so to speak.  He won't get much, if anything, in a trade.  And if he decides to try and play for another year, I'd expect a similarly team-friendly contract negotiated.  In short, he's not going to get you any kind of trade bounce (or even a salary hit).  And anyone on a rookie deal (like Aiyuk) is stuck on a ridiculously team-friendly deal, so all the rookie deal guys are going to stay (unless the 'Niners don't think they can play, in which case they'll be cut . . . unless they find a team who thinks otherwise).

P.S. Mullen's QB numbers were quite good the season Jimmy was on the shelf . . . the rest of the team wasn't nearly as good then as it is now . . . or was, before the ridiculous number of injuries. BTW, my son said Shanahan made S&C changes to 'Niners' staff before this season. Is that right?
