"He wants to be a New England Patriot," Curran said on "Boston Sports Tonight." "My understanding is he wants to be a New England Patriot."
Despite Sherman's interest in the Patriots, it's unclear whether the Pats can afford to trade for him. The Seahawks are reportedly looking for a first round pick and a top level player in exchange for Sherman, and the Pats currently don't have a pick in the first two rounds of this draft.
The Patriots could deal Malcolm Butler in exchange for Sherman, but they'd have to find a way to acquire a first round pick. Perhaps they could trade Jimmy Garoppolo to someone for a first rounder, or maybe the Seahawks will lower their asking price.
But for a player of Sherman's caliber, the Seahawks will more than likely require a massive haul if they trade him.
