Seattle Seahawks fans already had to endure three years of watching cornerback Richard Sherman in red and gold, which looks less odd now than it did when he made his San Francisco 49ers debut. Could the Pacific Northwest handle another fan-favorite crossing over to the division rival?
If you think the 49ers will have to do some creative maneuvering to stay under the salary cap — whatever the limit ends up being — the rest of the NFC West is in worse situations. San Francisco's over $13 million in projected cap space leads the division, per OverTheCap.com.

Verrett is among several 49ers defensive backs slated for the open market. Richard Sherman, K'Waun Williams, Jaquiski Tartt, and Ahkello Witherspoon will join him. Verrett, though, is the cornerback who Sam Monson of Pro Football Focus feels could be a good value for any interested team.
