Back in February, Roger Goodell recommended a rule that would result in ejections for players who committed two personal fouls during the course of a game.

Richard Sherman ripped the idea behind the proposal.

"I think it's foolish," Sherman said. "But it sounds like something somebody who's never played the game would say, something that they would suggest, because he doesn't understand. He's just a face. He's just a suit. He's never stepped foot on the field and understood how you can get a personal foul."

Sherman was recently elected to the NFLPA executive committee and has previously served as the Seahawks' union representative.

He was also asked why the rules governing what a catch is have generated so much controversy.

"Because you've got a bunch of suits doing it," Sherman said. "Like I said before, you don't have a bunch of guys ... let Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin talk about it for about 20, 30 minutes. Maybe Cris Carter. Randy Moss, let those guys have a roundtable discussion about what a catch should be and come up with a rule.

"I guarantee you it'd be more effective than the rule they have now because those are the pass-catchers. Those are some of the best pass-catchers we've had. I think it'd be more straightforward and to the point. You've got a bunch of guys who have never played. They've probably touched a football to hold it out or to shake somebody's hand, to take a picture, but they've never played the game."

The Denver Broncos have agreed upon a five-year deal with Russell Okung of the Seattle Seahawks.

The Broncos are now expected to trade Ryan Clady.

A source told ESPN's Josina Anderson the contract is worth an average of $10.6 million per season ($11.2 million maximum if he reaches incentives).

Okung, who comes to the Broncos after six seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, was the first pick (sixth overall) of the Pete Carroll/John Schneider era back in 2010.

Jermaine Kearse has agreed to re-sign with the Seattle Seahawks on a three-year, $13.5 million deal.

Kearse set career highs with 49 catches for 685 yards and five touchdowns. He has 112 catches for 1,599 yards and 10 touchdowns in his career.

The Seahawks now will return their top three pass-catchers from a year ago in Kearse, Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett.

The Oakland Raiders have agreed to sign Bruce Irvin.

Irvin is 28 and had 38 tackles and 5.5 sacks last season with the Seattle Seahawks.

Irvin was the 15th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft out of West Virginia.

Before the 2015 season began, Irvin said he planned to sign with the Atlanta Falcons in free agency.
