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.
