IF Sherman is injured, and he realizes he will be average in the future...
It might not be a bad time to just retire based upon injury and become a sportscaster. I mean, he's going out on TOP, he is a known name, he has a communications degree, and he's well-spoken most of the time.
I could see him replacing the balding, aging host they have on "First Take". Imagine he and Skip Bayliss debating every morning. He could milk that career for another decade. Or three.
Or, he could come back and be average. And even under the extension of the 555,000 he got this year... in another 2 years, he's a footnote (kinda the way Tebow did).
At the time Tebow finished his amazing run, beating the Steelers, I posted on getbig that he should FAKE an injury, retire with this amazing "What if?" mystique, and become a talking head on ESPN, college gameday, etc.... INSTEAD, he came back to be entirely average, and cut, and now he's doing commercials about how he can't get a contract and being used for footnotes by ESPN from time to time.
If it's just a sprain and he's fine, then he should come back and play another 10 years. Get that big contract. Revis got a $million a game to be entirely average last year. He makes as much in one game as Sherman makes in TWO YEARS.
BUT if Sherman is injured and realizes his explosiveness might be gone... the time is right to strike gold with broadcasting.
