Richard Sherman is the focus of an article published on espn.com Thursday that details a rift between Sherman and Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, as well an overall disdain for the coach's coddling of quarterback Russell Wilson on the part of the Seattle defense.
The article, written by Seth Wickersham, cites unnamed Seattle players, staffers (past and present) and former assistant coach Sherman Smith and suggests the three-time All-Pro cornerback is still dealing with emotions from the team's loss to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX.
