Former NFL coach Eric Mangini thinks if the Seahawks decide to trade cornerback Richard Sherman, a good fit could be Atlanta.

On Fox Sports' 'Speak for Yourself' on Wednesday, the Sherman trade rumors were discussed along with the report that the asking price for Sherman has dropped in negotiations with the Seahawks.

"To me, it's where's the relationship between (Seahawks coach Pete Carroll), the organization and Richard at this point? Has it gotten to where there's too much water under the bridge and they have to move on? And that might be why the price has come down. I also think that a great landing spot for him would be in Atlanta with Dan Quinn. That system, a coordinator who had him. If I see that trade take place, that to me makes a lot of sense,” Mangini said.

Falcons’ coach Dan Quinn served as the Seahawks’ defensive coordinator in 2013 and 2014.

Mangini’s full response can be heard below:
