Seahawks Cornerback Sherman Wins Appeal, Will Play in Playoffs

Richard Sherman and the Seattle Seahawks were big winners this Thursday as the player won his appeal of a suspension for use of performance-enhancing substances and will be able to play in the playoffs.
Sherman tweeted “I won”, and news about him getting the decision came to surface.

“I know what the truth is, and anybody else who knows anything knows what the truth is. The truth has been told today,” Sherman said on Thursday. “People can say what they want, there are always naysayers. I have great teammates and great coaches and great fans, and that’s all I care about.”

“There was obviously a good amount of stress because you just don’t know,” Sherman said. “You know how strong your case is how strong everything is, but it was just great to get it over with.”

Sherman is one of the most dynamic players from the Seahawks secondary defense, and it would be a shame if Seattle rhythm gets disrupted because of a situation like this. “It definitely feels good for him to take this journey and keep being on this team with us,” Seattle safety Earl Thomas said. “We’re getting (Browner) back and the depth that we have and the young guys got a chance to prove who they are and it’s all just coming together for us.”

The decision was made by former NFL executive Bob Wallace. “Accordingly, Mr. Sherman’s appeal is granted, and the discipline is reversed,” Wallace wrote.

Seattle will play against the Rams on Sunday, but they have a playoffs spot secure.
