After seven seasons, five playoff appearances, two Super Bowls and an NFL championship, the Seattle Seahawks released All-Pro cornerback #RichardSherman.
Just one day later, Sherman agreed to a three-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, worth up to $39.15 million.
“I’m thankful to John Lynch( 49ers GM)and Kyle Shanahan (49ers coach)for believing in me,” Sherman told ESPN’s Josina Anderson. “Some smaller details still getting ironed out, but #ShermInTheBay.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The team reportedly met with the cornerback on Saturday to make sure he was recovering well from his injuries in both legs. But, according to ESPN, Sherman said he will be back on the treadmill, running, next week. ⠀⠀
The new deal comes just after Sherman made it clear that he wanted “to go to a contender,” in the wake of his release. Now, Sherman will face his former team twice in the regular season. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
