Richard Sherman tells ESPN Colin Kaepernick is being blackballed and he’s not worried about trade rumors

If rumors that the Seahawks might consider trading him for the right price bother cornerback Richard Sherman, he didn’t show it during an appearance on ESPN’s First Take Friday.

“I just laugh it off, man,” Sherman said. “It’s funny to me. But sometimes people need to see you gone to realize what you had. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. But I don’t let things like that bother me. The chips will fall how they’re supposed to.”

That Seattle could be open to trading Sherman was floated last week by longtime NFL exec Michael Lombardi on a podcast for TheRinger.
