Former Seattle Seahawks’ cornerback Richard Sherman may not have wound up the newest member of the San Francisco 49ers if not for Aqib Talib. At least not according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
An example of how simple decisions this week affect players, teams and futures.
Aqib Talib rejected a trade that was agreed to between Denver and SF; wouldn’t report. He later is traded to LA.
So SF doesn’t get its CB, Richard Sherman is released and he winds up in SF.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 11, 2018It appears a deal was already in place that would’ve moved the 5x Pro Bowl-er from the Mile High city to the City by the bay.
