The Tampa Bay Buccaneers joined the growing list of teams that want to add free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman to their roster, according to head coach Bruce Arians.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Arians discussed the possibility of signing Sherman and revealed that the Bucs’ general manager Jason Lich already contacted the five-time Pro Bowler.

“Jason’s reached out. We got to see,” Arians said. “He’s got other things going on too.”

Tampa Bay found themselves in need of a corner after starter Sean Murphy-Bunting dislocated his elbow and landed on the injured reserve last week. Murphy-Bunting is expected to miss at least three weeks but could be sidelined even longer depending on the seriousness of the injury.

The Buccaneers are expected to face competition for Sherman in the San Francisco 49ers, who also keep tabs on the player. The 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters last week that the team had internal discussions about signing the 33-year-old star after starter Jason Verrett suffered a season-ending injury in Week 1.

Besides the Bucs and 49ers, Sherman is reportedly also drawing interest from the New Orleans Saints and the Seattle Seahawks.

Richard Sherman spent the previous three years with the 49ers after signing a $39 million contract with the franchise in 2018. He managed to play only five games last season due to a calf strain.

San Francisco 49ers’ Pro Bowl corner Richard Sherman will remain on the injured reserve list for at least one more week. This was confirmed to reporters by 49ers’ head coach Kyle Shanahan on Monday.

Sherman landed on IR in Week 2 due to a calf injury, with the San Francisco hoping to have him back in time for Week 6 game against LA Rams. The 32-year-old corner, however, suffered a setback in his rehabilitation process last week that prevented him from returning to practice.

Shanahan told the media that he isn’t counting on Sherman this week, but hopes a change of treatment will help him return to action soon. 

“We were hoping to get him back this week,” said Shanahan. “Some setbacks last week, the healing hasn’t gone the way we were hoping for. I know we’re going to try a few different procedures this week, but I know I’m not counting on him this week. We’ll see how that goes with the new stuff we’re gonna try.”

This is a tough blow for the injury-riddled San Francisco 49ers, considering they are quite thin at cornerback. Besides Sherman, the 49ers are also without Emmanuel Moseley, who is dealing with a concussion, and K’Waun Williams, who is out due to a sprained knee.

In their absence, San Francisco had to turn to practice squad-signee Brian Allen and Jason Verrett. The duo started Week 5 game against Miami Dolphins but mightily struggled and allowed 350 yards and three touchdowns.

All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman spent seven years with the Seattle Seahawks, where he established himself as one of the best CBs in the NFL before he was released by the organization back in March. Sherman, who then signed a deal with the San Francisco 49ers, now decided to share some of his thoughts about his former employers.

In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Sherman said that Seahawks “lost their way” and made too many mistakes in the past.

“They’ve lost their way,”- said the 30-year-old. “It’s as simple as that. They’ve just lost their way. When you make too many mistakes over a long period of time, you kind of dig yourself a hole. And then when you backtrack, you gotta make a bunch of rash decisions to try and fill the hole and hope that it holds up.”

“Mistakes and poor judgment on things ruined what could have been a really special deal,” – he added. “You don’t have much left right now.”

After an underwhelming past few seasons, Seattle Seahawks decided to “clean the house” and move on from most of the players that were part of their famous starting secondary nicknamed “Legion of Boom.” Besides Richard Sherman, defensive end Michael Bennett also left the team in the recent months and All-Pro safety Earl Thomas could follow since the talks about his new contract stalled for some time now.

“To say you’re not going to pay Earl Thomas is just … There’s no decline in play there.” – said Sherman. “He’s played the game the right way. Who do you have to pay? You have the two best linebackers in the game. You have the quarterback. You have a great wide receiver in Doug [Baldwin]. And you’re paying Duane Brown.“

A fifth-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, Richard Sherman was named First-Team All-Pro three times and earned four Pro Bowl selections during his time with the Seahawks. He was also the part of the team that won the Super Bowl in 2013 season when Sherman was NFL interceptions leader.

It didn’t take long for All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman to find a team after being released by the Seattle Seahawks. Sherman signed a three year deal with the Seahawks NFC West rivals San Francisco 49ers. According to ESPN, the deal is worth up to $39.15 million.

“Richard is one of the premier competitors Kyle and I have ever encountered,” – said general manager John Lynch in a statement. “We look forward to him sharing his wealth of experience and his passion for the game of football with our team. Richard has long been looked at as the prototypical corner in our scheme, and the opportunity to have him mentor our players was one we needed to attack. Most importantly, we are excited to have a championship-caliber corner on the field for the 49ers.“

According to Sherman, the opportunity to face his former team twice in the 2018 NFL season played a big role in making his decision saying: “I’m vengeful in that way.“

“Vengeful,” – Sherman added. “I love the fan base to death, and I loved playing there. It was such a great opportunity. I helped the organization get to a great place and stay there. But now it’s like I abandoned them. People are out there burning my jersey. Come on. I’m not the one who let me go. They let me go. I didn’t abandon anybody.“

According to the reports, after getting the offer from 49ers, Richard Sherman reached out to Seahawks to see whether they are interested in matching the offer, but he got a negative answer. He also spoke with the Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions, before finally settling on San Francisco.
