Richard Sherman trade talk. Should Miami move on this before Pats

Now, to be fair, the Seahawks do not seem to be desperate to trade Sherman, but they are not eliminating the idea either. This seems to be a New England Patriots-type move for the Seahawks, where they are looking at an expensive player ($13.6M this year) who is nearing the end of his contract (through 2018) who will be 30 when his contract expires. Could they get something - and something substantial - in return for Sherman?
If the Seahawks trade Sherman, they will pick up $4.4 million in dead money, but they will get back about $9 million in space this year. A team adding Sherman would be paying him about $11.2 million per season over the next two years.
As of Thursday morning, the Dolphins have $20.4 million in cap space for 2017, according to the NFL Players Association.

Our problems on defense are primarily at LB.  Trading for Quinn goes a ways to addressing our needs at end, especially considering the age Wake is reaching.

I would take that trade for Ogletree, however his contract probably would have busted our cap big time.
