The Richard Sherman Podcast

Retired All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman analyzes weekly NFL news and game film, often from a player's psychological and contractual perspective.

The brief

A video podcast where former NFL star Richard Sherman and his co-host, Mitch Eisenstein, react to the week's football news. The show is notable for its frequent use of detailed, but entirely hypothetical, trade and free agency scenarios that are discussed as if they are real news. Sherman provides a rare player's perspective, often focusing on the psychological side of contract disputes, team chemistry, and on-field strategy.

The show's most unique feature is its blending of real NFL news with elaborate, hypothetical trade scenarios that are analyzed in serious detail. Sherman's perspective as a recently retired, elite player who was famously outspoken provides an unmatched level of insight into the modern athlete's mindset.
