Richard Sherman was not at the VMAC on day one of the Seattle Seahawks off-season program. According to ESPN, the cornerback was part of six starters absent for the voluntary workouts that began on Tuesday.
Other Seahawks players have skipped these workouts in the past, opting to train on their own. Albert Breer of The MMQB reported Sherman plans to report in May, before organized team activities begin.

After a contentious 2016 campaign, Sherman has been the focus of trade rumors this off-season. Seahawks GM John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll have both said they have listened to offers for the four-time Pro Bowler.
Sherman has two years and over 22-million dollars remaining on his 4-year contract signed in 2014.
