Soon after NFL free agency starts next Wednesday, the New England Patriots are expected to lose starting cornerback and unrestricted free agent Malcolm Butler. This puts the team in the market for another player at the position and one of the best cornerbacks of the last years will likely be available: The Seattle Seahawks are expected to release former All-Pro Richard Sherman soon.
Sherman, who will turn 30 in three weeks, is entering the final year of his contract and scheduled to be on Seattle's books with a salary cap hit of $13.
