Seahawks make Sherman the highest-paid CB in the NFL

The Super Bowl-winning +Seattle Seahawks and star +Richard Sherman have agreed on an extension that makes Sherman the highest-paid cornerback in the +NFL, +FOX Sports insider Jay Glazer reports.

The four-year extension is worth a total of $57.4 million over the next five seasons, according to FOX Sports insider Mike Garafolo.

Sherman himself confirmed the deal on his blog Wednesday, saying "there is no other city or team that I would want to play football for."

Sherman signed a four-year deal in 2011 as a rookie and is set to make $1.4 million this year as part of that, +The Seattle Times reports.

According to the Times, Sherman said last week that becoming the highest-paid player at his position was not really a goal.

"I don't care for that," the Times quotes Sherman as saying. "The only list I care about being at the top of is interceptions."

But that doesn't mean money isn't a part of the equation, as Sherman has suggested.

"œIt'€™s about respect," he told The Seattle Times. "€œWhatever the team feels I deserve, the respect they feel -- that (money) is the respect from the team. That'€™s how they show it, at least in this game. In other aspects of life it may be different. You may show respect in different ways. But in this game that'€™s how they show it."€™

From pick 154 to my new contract, good luck to all the draft guys waiting. My message to you: http://t.co/Oe5iaXQWie #YouGetOutWhatYouPutIn

+University of Dayton takes down +Stanford Athletics men's hoops to advance to Elite 8. +Wisconsin Badgers made a statement by really never even giving the hot +Baylor Athletics a glimpse of hope. Badgers simply dominated to moe on to the Elite 8. Dayton will play the winner of the +Florida Gators - +UCLA Bruins and Wisconsin (2 seed) will play the winner of the +Arizona Wildcats - +San Diego State Athletics game. Both 1 seed vs 4 seed match ups.

We'll take the "smart" money on who we had in the national championship game for the last month or so and in a bracket. Gators vs Wildcats, but could it be a night for the 4 seed? Aztecs and UCLA could win these games indeed. Can't wait to see!

Early Games for Sweet 16 Tonight.

This is for Morgan Miller, of course, we are riding the Dayton High Life (+University of Dayton) Flyers, of course, although +Stanford Athletics might overwhelm with length. And as we have this bracket in tact, going with the +Baylor Athletics Bears, who are scorching hot, to take +Wisconsin Badgers in a high scoring game (not a lot of stiff defense with these two this year, normally, but nerves might affect that).

It's time for the #Sweet16! http://t.co/ZS4UtoNxux #MarchMadness pic.twitter.com/3rIoudbfWi

Dolphins Trade Martin to the 49ers, Reuniting Martin with College Coach from Stanford, Harbaugh

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MARCH 11, 2014

Jonathan Martin is returning to familiar territory, months after he accused a teammate of bullying and left the Miami Dolphins.

The offensive tackle is headed back to the Bay Area to play for Jim Harbaugh.

Martin was traded from Miami to the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday night, reuniting the lineman with his college coach at Stanford.

The +Miami Dolphins announced the move late on the first day of N.F.L. free agency. San Francisco then confirmed the trade, saying only that it would send an undisclosed draft choice to Miami and that Martin still must pass a physical to complete the deal.

“Can’t wait to get to work,” Martin posted on Twitter.

An investigation for the +NFL determined last month that Dolphins guard Richie Incognito and two other offensive linemen engaged in persistent harassment of Martin, another offensive lineman and an assistant trainer.

COWBOYS RELEASE WARE The +Dallas Cowboys released DeMarcus Ware, the franchise’s career sacks leader.

Ware had a career-low six sacks last season and was sidelined for three games with a thigh injury, the first time he had missed a game in his nine-year career.

+Denver Broncos appear to be in solid lead for Ware's services.

+Chicago Bears CUT PEPPERS Chicago released defensive end Julius Peppers, an eight-time Pro Bowler, in one of several moves to reshape the team’s defense. Given that Peppers finished last season with seven sacks and that his salary-cap hit for next season was more than $18 million, the Bears were expected to let him go or restructure his contract.

The Bears agreed to contracts with the former +Oakland Raiders defensive end Lamarr Houston, the former Giants safety Ryan Mundy, and linebackers Jordan Senn and D. J. Williams.

+Pittsburgh Steelers DROP WOODLEY Pittsburgh released linebacker LaMarr Woodley, 29, with a post-June 1 designation. By postponing the move until after June 1, the Steelers will free up about $8 million in salary-cap space for 2014. Woodley will, however, count $8.5 million against the team’s cap number in 2015.

+New York Giants ADD DEPTH The Giants reached agreements with the former Kansas City guard Geoff Schwartz and the former Oakland running back Rashad Jennings, the players announced on Twitter. Seattle linebacker O’Brien Schofield also agreed to a deal with the team, and kicker Josh Brown indicated on Twitter that he had re-signed with the Giants.

LONGER DEAL FOR JETS’ FOLK The +New York Jets re-signed kicker Nick Folk to a multiyear contract, less than two weeks after placing the franchise tag on him
