Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast and it's the trade deadline. So you know there's moves happening, but there are some huge moves. We're going to start off with the Seattle Seahawks getting wide receiver Rasheed Shahid, the speedster that played for the New Orleans Saints. This is a great addition to this receiving core that, that has been thriving. I mean we, we always talk about Jackson Smith and J Rigba Young. Tori Horton has been having a good season. You all all know Cooper cup and what he's done, although he's on the shelf right now. But this, this trade changes the way people are going to defend the Seattle Seahawks or they're just gonna, they're gonna deal with deep passes over their heads because you cannot one on one. This guy has next level speed and the Saints used it really consistently over the last couple years. I, I, I'm sure I, I, I don't have the exact stats in front of me, but I'm sure he's amongst the league leaders in, in yards per catch and, and yards per route, et cetera, et cetera. Because most of his routes are coming down the field. He's a legitimate deep threat in this National Football League and he gives Sam Darnold in this offense another weapon. Coming off one of their best games of the season. To get another weapon like this that stretches the defense, that, that makes those safeties take a, take another step back, makes those corners play a little less ambitious. I don't think teams will play this team in man coverage as they have been. If they do, I would expect Sam Darnold, Jackson Smith and Jigba and their new receiver Rasheed Shahid. To, to really have a field day. I think this is going to be a great trade for the Seattle Seahawks and, and it's going to work for both sides. It's going to work for both sides. It gives him a fresh start on a team that's really competitive. Things aren't going great right now in New Orleans. It looks like they're going to be picking early in the draft. This is a young, fun team that's excited. Congrats to Mike McDonald for, and John Snyder for making this trade. This is one of the perfect trades of this trade deadline. There are bigger moves, there are, you know, people trading first round picks, etc. We're going to get to that. But in terms of a, of a fit, of a perfect fit scenario, this guy fits in with this culture, with what this team's trying to do offensively and he has a obvious role that he fits in this offense. He played with, played for Clint Kubiak when he was with New Orleans last season. So there's familiarity there. Clint Kubiak knows how to use this guy and I'm sure that's why they made the call when, when they saw that New Orleans wasn't going to be competitive this season to get this guy in the fold again. You don't know a lot of these guys. You don't feel good. You know, people who don't know this guy are gonna, gonna be really positively surprised at the impact that he can make each and every game and each and every week, even when he's not getting the ball, the pressure that he puts on the defense, the awareness that you have to have of where he is on the field in case they, they take a shot with him. Because if you're not, by the time you're aware of him, he's running past you, the ball's up. And the way Sam Darnold has been delivering this season going to be trouble. So this is, this is one of my favorite trades of the, of the deadline so far. The other huge notable trades is it looks like the New York jets are in a full fire sale, traded away to all pro players. They got some, a lot of picks in it. I, I, I, I, I'm not sure I agree with these moves. I mean you usually the, the guys that are untouchable are untouchable for a reason and, and you don't trade franchise pillars. Now Sauce Gardner, I think I understand why they traded him. I, I'm not a fan of using two first rounders on a corner and I'm a corner. I'M a former NFL corner, felt like I played at a high level. There are very few corners that can, you can justify trading two first round picks for. The Rams did it when they got Jalen Ramsey and then they won a Super bowl. So they can feel justified with that. The Colts are doing it hoping for the same, hoping that he takes them to the next level which, which he just may, may. But the production from a corner that you expect are interceptions. There, there are interceptions. If you're trading for a corner, that's a guy you expect to pick the ball off at least three to four, maybe four to five times a season change a game. Sauce is a elite corner, there's no question about that. But trading two first round picks is really, really, that's, that's generous. So I think that was a deal the jets took because they could not refuse. They could not, not take that deal you offered him. That's a deal they could not walk away from. And I understand that. Getting two first round picks for a corner, I don't know many teams that would say no to that because of what you can do. Obviously the jets are trying to stock up draft picks to potentially get their next franchise quarterback. They haven't been great about picking franchise quarterbacks. Will it change this year? Who knows. But I, I unders. I can understand the logic in, in trading Sauce Gardner for two first round picks. I can understand. I don't understand the logic from the Colts. I think he will help. I'm, I'm excited that they're giving Lou Annorumo the, the, the ammo that he needs to, to fuel this very talented and stingy defense that they have developing out there in Indianapolis. He was not allowed, he was not given these kind of, these kind of big time playmakers in, in Cincinnati and Steel was able to, to, to try to battle and try to make competitive teams and I'm excited about what the Colts defense is going to be. I think this is a bit of an overpay, but I think that's the only reason that Sauce was available is because they went over and beyond. They gave him an offer that they could not refuse. I think Sauce will be great in this system. I think he'll be great for the Indianapolis Colts. I, I think he's an elite corner and, and apparently this is the price you pay for an elite corner. It's only the second time since 1990 that a player has been traded for two first round picks in season. Sauce has had 15 tackles this year, six PBUs and no interceptions. Hopefully that changes with with his time in Indy. Good luck to Sauce. I'm excited to see how that goes. They also traded receiver Adonai Mitchell as part of the deal to the Jets. I knew Adonai Mitchell was going to be out of indie when he, when he, when he dropped the ball over the goal line against the Rams. That was, that was the bonehead play of the year. He also got a holding call in that game that negated a 50 yard Jonathan Taylor touchdown. You make those kind of mistakes in a season this special because they could have easily won that game against the Rams. That would have been a big time quality win. They'd be seven or they'd be eight and one right now. That was something Shane Steichen felt like he couldn't live with and they made the move that they felt was necessary. The Dallas Cowboys there's nothing like sinking.

Jerry called it. Jerry said, hey, we're gonna make a big trade. Just wait before the game. I'm sure he didn't think that that trade would be the best news they had because they got their butts kicked by the Arizona Cardinals and Jacobe Brissette. But they trade for Quinn and Williams, the all pro player. The all pro defensive tackle for the from the again New York Jets. They use one of the picks they got in the Micah Parsons trade in a second round pick and send over Mozzie Smith, Quinn and Williams is exactly what they need. They got Kenny Clark already. This is, this is shaping, it looks like it's shaping out to be a very formidable defensive line. He has the second most run stuffs this season. He's done a great job against the run and he's a ferocious pass rusher. There's a reason he's been all pro, even on bad defenses, bad teams with the jets, because I think the jets have had some good defenses, but he's been a standout player for them for a long time. But there's been some discontent. He's been disgruntled. You heard about it when they got rid of Aaron Rodgers and, and how that happened. We'll see how this one plays out. But you can, you can tell there's some frustration between some of these players, some of the big time pillar players in management, whether it's, whether it's the head coach or the front office. And it's even more clear today, you're not expecting to win anytime in the near future. So you're, you're stocking up picks. Maybe you can go, maybe you believe a quarterback worth a lot of movement is going to be available in this draft. A quarterback of the future. But that hasn't been the case for a lot of these quarterbacks. The jets have, have, have picked up. And, and it's, it's not by almost any fault of the players because it doesn't seem like the jets are equipped to develop young quarterbacks. And that's just what the history says. I'm not trying to be biased in any way, but that's what the history has said. Aaron Glenn is going to have his work cut out for him going forward. I look forward to seeing how this season, I mean, obviously this season has already been what it's going to be. They got to win this season, which was surprising the way they started, but it looks like they're mailing it in and giving up on this season. And likely they're going to have a high draft pick coming up and they'll have other draft picks and we'll see what they do with them. And if they can build a competitive roster and give Aaron Glenn more opportunities to, to, to coach these young men and establish culture or what direction they go after this season. But these are some interesting moves. Not many times do you, do you see multiple franchise players from the same franchise being moved on the trade deadline. But these are, these are, these are things they couldn't pass up. But if I'm the Jets front office and I got all These picks in the next couple years, start just building a good team. You're gonna be young now. You'll likely get your quarterback. I think you got a one good tackle. Could you get another? I think you gotta go try to get a tackle. That's, that's where you want to start. You've, you've drafted pass rushers in, in the past and it hasn't worked out great for him. You drafted an elite corner, you paid him all that good stuff. You just traded him away. So now you're gonna need another corner. Quarterback, tackle, corner. You got a receiver, you got a receiver I think you feel great about. You can always use more. Adonai Mitchell should be fine for now. Offensive line, offensive line, if they're a quality offensive line, there, that's where you go. Protect this young quarterback for the foreseeable future. If you're going to draft a quarterback with your first pick and you feel great about him and he's the future of your franchise, put some people in front of him that can block for him. You're probably gonna need some detachables now, but that's later on. Quarterback protectors, corner. Those are your first things. Three things you need to do. Some of them you can draft, some of you could pick up in free agency. We'll see what you do. Good luck, Jets. And to Dallas fans, they're saying, hey, we traded Micah and we got Kenny Clark and we got Quinn and Williams and we got another pick. That's, that's cool, that's great. And, and it may work out fantastic. This is, these are, these are built building blocks for franchise, but right now this has been a disaster of a season for the, for the Dallas Cowboys. So hopefully these things in the future and they're building winning habits and they're getting guys in the building that can help establish, re. Establish culture for what they want to have. I think shoddy. I mean, Jerry and shoddy. That's what they're trying to do. You want to build a great defense, you get great players. And these are, these are great players. These are guys that can impact winning week in and week out, but you still got to get guys back there covering in the back end. They got to tighten up some of these coverage issues that they're having. They're playing man coverage and guys are losing one on ones. But we'll see, we'll see. The Dallas Cowboys will be a talking point, no question about it. The San Francisco 49ers made their move a little earlier. They got Keon White, they Signed Cleveland Farrell. Those are good, good moves. You know, I thought they would would go again. I thought they would get another pass rusher. I'm sure the prices just were too high. Obviously Trey Hendrickson did not move at all. So I'm sure the price was just, just a above what they were willing to pay for a rental. Which is, which is odd about why the Philadelphia Eagles traded for Jalen Phillips, who's going to be a good password and fit this scheme. And everybody's like the rich getting richer. But a third rounder for a guy that's on his contract year seems to be a steep price. But again, if you win the super bowl, then the price is worth it. Every single time. They needed more pass rush help, they've been beaten up. They, they needed some more depth and they got that. I think that's a good move. And you got to trust Howie Roseman at. You got to trust him. He's got a, he's got a great resume and a great track record. So I'm not going to be the one to criticize him. But I just thought that was a decent, a decent compensation and I think the Miami Dolphins who are in a fire sale right now are happy with it. I thought more players would be gone out of Miami. I thought they would deal more players. I thought it was 25 players in season. It's the most players traded in season. Tied for the most players traded in season the past 25 years. The most first rounders dealt in season in the past 25 season. Three of them. 2019 was the same but it's a crazy trade deadline. I thought more teams will make moves but we'll see. You can't make any more others. So I'm sure you'll after this you'll hear about guys asking for their release etc from some of these teams that aren't competitive right now. Especially veteran players hoping to get picked up by a contender. That'll be the next step. No question about it. Now for our Hard Rock TNF prediction. All odds and lines come from our partners at Hard Rock bet. We've got the Raiders at the Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Hard Rock BET has the Broncos at nine point favorites in this game. I think that's legitimate. The the Raiders have struggled, struggled mightily this year. Unfortunately. My guy, Geno Smith has struggled with turnovers and interceptions. He found his rhythm last week. He threw for four touchdowns last week. Because Brock Bowers is back. He's one of their big weapons. They traded Jacoby Myers, a guy who was unhappy they traded him to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a fourth and sixth round pick. So there's the cupboards kind of bare and I think going against this Broncos defense with Riley Moss and Talanoa Huanga and and Bonito and Cooper and Zach Allen, it's a tough defense to to not have a ton of weapons against and I think with that kind of pass rush this is going to be a long day for the the Raiders. They're 1 and 8. Unfortunately I feel got bad for my guy Pete, but feel like the Broncos are going to be able to cover but who knows. Appreciate you guys joining me here on the Richard Sherman podcast. I know you could be anywhere in the world but you're here with me and I surely do appreciate it. Hit that sub button if you knew.

Date: November 8, 2025
Podcast: The Herd with Colin Cowherd
Host: Richard Sherman
In this incisive trade deadline episode, Richard Sherman dives into the biggest moves and surprises across the NFL, with special focus on the Seattle Seahawks' acquisition of Rasheed Shaheed and the New York Jets' all-in fire sale—parting ways with both franchise defenders Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner. Sherman offers his candid insights as a former NFL cornerback, exploring fit, front office rationale, and the implications for the teams involved. The episode is fast-paced, loaded with authentic player perspective, and heavy on context around why these deals went down—plus some hard truths for struggling franchises and hopeful projections for new contenders.
[03:27 – 07:25]
“If you don’t know this guy, you’re gonna be really positively surprised at the impact that he can make each and every game and each and every week, even when he’s not getting the ball. The pressure that he puts on the defense...by the time you’re aware of him, he’s running past you.”
– Richard Sherman [04:59]
[07:25 – 17:00]
“There are very few corners that you can justify trading two first round picks for…I can understand the logic in trading Sauce Gardner for two first round picks. I don’t understand the logic from the Colts.”
– Richard Sherman [08:42]
[14:46 – 18:20]
“Quinnen Williams is exactly what they need. He’s done a great job against the run and he’s a ferocious pass rusher…There’s a reason he’s been All-Pro, even on not great defenses.”
– Richard Sherman [15:03]
“If I’m the Jets front office and I got all these picks in the next couple years, start just building a good team…But that hasn’t been the case for a lot of these quarterbacks the Jets have picked up.”
– Richard Sherman [16:48]
[19:30 – 21:10]
[21:10 – 22:55]
“The Raiders have struggled, struggled mightily this year…with that kind of pass rush, this is going to be a long day.”
– Richard Sherman [21:59]
On Seattle’s trade for Shaheed:
“I think this is going to be a great trade for the Seahawks and it’s going to work for both sides…it changes the way people are going to defend Seattle.”
[03:43]
On the logic of big cornerback trades:
“There are very few corners you can justify trading two first round picks for…and I’m a former NFL corner. The Rams did it for Jalen Ramsey, won a Super Bowl—you can feel justified.”
[08:30]
On Quinnen Williams’ impact in Dallas:
“You want to build a great defense, you get great players. But you still got to get guys back there covering in the back end…these are building blocks, but right now this has been a disaster of a season.”
[17:35]
On the Jets’ long-term future:
“Quarterback, tackle, corner. Those are your first things. Some of them you can draft, some you can pick up in free agency. We’ll see.”
