Seahawks' Richard Sherman responds to Cardinals' Patrick Peterson's tweet about contract
Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson became the highest paid player in the NFL at his position Tuesday night, and he wanted to make sure Richard Sherman didn't miss the news.
Happy to announce my 5 year extension with @AZCardinals! $70M and $48M Guaranteed!! #AZCardinals #P2Nation #YearOfTheCardinal

Sherman replied to Peterson's new deal by retweeting a tweet that highlighted the performance of the two cornerbacks last season.
Richard Sherman and Patrick Peterson combined to allow 8 touchdown passes in 2013. Peterson gave up seven of those.

Sherman, who is typically never shy about voicing his opinion, was a man of few words with his response.
Can't ever be too mad lmao... pic.twitter.com/ZHA28B9Tji

It's too bad they play the same position, as seeing them square off against one another twice a year would probably be quite the spectacle.
