Cool...I hope he finds a good new team. It won't be here due to our cap room.

[Keyfro]

he's a pretty solid nickelback who at one time was a pretty good #2 guy...not sure how he would fit into the mix here with faggins, fletcher, and bennett but i wouldn't let that stop us from picking him up...if he comes cheap it just adds to the competition to this team which is always a good thing

He was a Bronco for a few years.

Herndon, 30, recorded a career-high 67 tackles in 2006, and also had one interception and 15 passes defensed.
Seattle signed Herndon as a restricted free agent in 2005, inking him to a five-year, $15 million offer sheet the Broncos declined to match. There were three seasons remaining on his Seattle contract, at base salaries of $2.5 million (2007), $2.9 million (2008) and $3.1 million (2009).
The Seahawks will realize some salary cap relief with the move, between $1.05-$2.5 million, but the amount has yet to be officially determined.
It is likely that Herndon, who is rehabilitating from a broken ankle he sustained in the 2006 season finale, will draw interest from other teams if he is healthy. The Seahawks had said in recent weeks that Herndon's recovery from the ankle injury was on schedule. There may be teams that view Herndon as a solid nickel cornerback.
So it was his age.... not the salary or the broken ankle...? riiiight.

At this point I would say no to this guy. Chances are the guy has lost a serious step or 2 Considering Age and the fact he is coming off a serious ankle injury. He could be like Eric Moulds at CB.
