# Richard Sherman: Sherman previewed NFL free agency, predicting Kenneth Walker and Rashid Shaheed will price themselves out of Seattle, that Brandon Aiyuk gets cut by San Francisco and lands on a prove-it deal in Washington, and that Malik Willis follows Jeff Hafley to Miami. He also argued the combine is overvalued and that the franchise tag isn't going away. **Claimed:** Mar 3, 2026 **Pundit:** Richard Sherman — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/richard-sherman **Outlet:** The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/the-richard-sherman-podcast/texans-lions-montgomery-trade-reaction-seahawks-49ers-free-agency-nfl-combine-richard-sherman 5 checkable claims — 4 trade and signing calls and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > Could Malik Willis go with Jeff Hafley to the Miami Dolphins and get a payday? I think so. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Kenneth Walker III to move** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Kenneth Walker III - Verdict: not settled yet - **Malik Willis to move to Miami Dolphins** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Malik Willis, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet - **Nico Collins to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Nico Collins, Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brandon Aiyuk to move to Washington Commanders** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Brandon Aiyuk, Washington Commanders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rashid Shaheed to move** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Rashid Shaheed - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Kenneth Walker III — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/kenneth-walker-iii - Malik Willis — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/malik-willis - Miami Dolphins — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/dolphins - Nico Collins — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/nico-collins - Houston Texans — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/texans - Brandon Aiyuk — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/brandon-aiyuk - Washington Commanders — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/commanders - Rashid Shaheed — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/rashid-shaheed ## What others said about the same people - David Harrison on Tim Settle: Harrison gives his initial 53-man roster projection for the Washington Commanders: three quarterbacks including Ethan Kalyak Manus, three running backs, four tight ends, six receivers (leaving off De'Ami Brown and Jaden Bradley), nine offensive linemen with Matt Goldman at center, and a defense of six linebackers but only four cornerbacks.
