Richard Sherman’s free-agency tour began with the San Francisco 49ers, and it won’t extend beyond the Bay Area.
The veteran cornerback has agreed to a three-year deal with the 49ers worth $39 million (including a $5 million signing bonus), NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
Sherman is excited about playing for the 49ers, an organization that has a history of great defensive back play. He texted NFL Network analyst Steve Wyche to share those feelings.
“I’m excited. A lot of HOF DBs have gone through this incredible organization and I am looking to uphold that standard.”
This is a pretty big signing for the young 49ers team. Even if he’s not the Legion of Boom Richard Sherman, he should be a welcomed upgrade on the defensive side of the ball.
