Richard Sherman believes that Pete Carroll's message with the Seattle Seahawks has become stale, especially with the team's longer-tenured players.

Sherman suggested that Carroll's approach works better in college, where rosters turnover often.

"I think it was kind of philosophical on his part," Sherman said of Carroll. "A lot of us have been there six, seven, eight years, and his philosophy is more built for college. Four years, guys rotate in, rotate out, and so we had kind of heard all his stories, we had kind of heard every story, every funny anecdote that he had. And honestly because he just recycles them. And they're cool stories, they're great for team chemistry and building, etcetera, etcetera. But we had literally heard them all. We could recite them before he even started to say them."

The Seahawks cut Sherman last week and he quickly agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers.
