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 looks like the Seattle Seahawks are ready to dismantle their legendary defense group. In words of ESPN‘s Adam Schefter: “Legion of Boom is falling apart right in front of our eyes“. After trading away defensive end Michael Bennett earlier this week, the Seahawks released cornerback Richard Sherman on Friday.

“Thank you for helping win championships, shape our culture and define success in Seattle,” – said the Seahawks about Sherman in a statement. “We love you and your unwavering competitiveness, confidence and fierce passion for football and life. For that, you will always be a Hawk!“

Sherman said goodbye to the organization via an emotional letter, saying that he will be “forever grateful” to the Seahawks for giving him an opportunity.

Since Richard Sherman serves as his own agent, he can start negotiating with other teams right away. There is also a slight chance that he could return to Seahawks. One thing is for sure, the 29-year-old wants to play for a contender.

“I want to go to a contender,” – said Sherman while speaking to Seattle’s KIRO 97.3 FM on Friday. “I play at [a] high level. I’ve always been a guy that can work well with others and continue to elevate if my teammates elevate and elevate others. In Seattle, we had a lot of guys playing at a high level regardless. … We had to fit in like puzzle pieces and play off each other. We all did that very well, and that’s why we had the success we had.“

According to the reports, Seattle Seahawks looked to trade Richard Sherman first but failed to find a partner. The player previously said to ESPN that the team is letting him test free agency “with the hope that I can return” and that the Seahawks “just wanted the financial flexibility,” which came with his release.

Richard Sherman entered the league in 2011 when the Seahawks took him in the fifth round of that year’s draft. He went on to become one of the best (if not the best) cornerbacks of his generation. His 99 passes defended and 32 interceptions during seven years in the league are the most by any player in the same time span. Besides winning Super Bowl XLVIII in 2013, Sherman was also selected three times as First-team All-Pro (2012-2014) and had four Pro Bowl appearances (2013–2016).

Although Seattle Seahawks won their Thursday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, there wasn’t much reason for celebration. Their star cornerback Richard Sherman has left the game in the third quarter and didn’t return. It was later revealed that Sherman ruptured his Achilles tendon which will cause him to miss the rest of the season. He will undergo a surgery once the swelling from the injury goes away.

“No coming back from that until you get surgery,” – Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said. “He’s been a bastion of consistency, competitiveness, and toughness. We’re going to miss the heck out of him.“

There is no doubt that the Seahawks will miss their starting cornerback, especially since their injury list started being bigger with each passing game. Besides Sherman, left tackle Duane Brown and running back C.J. Prosise also left the game against the Cardinals early.

Sherman told the reporters that his Achilles has been bothering him for some time now, but he tried to avoid getting a drastic intervention.

“One of those things that you have to play through for as long as you can. When it goes, it goes.” – said Sherman. “I’ve put a lot of stress on it. Think it would have gone eventually.“

Richard Sherman never missed an NFL game since he was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the round 5 of 2011 NFL draft. Previously he played college football for Stanford Cardinal football team. Despite low expectations and doubts about his ability, Sherman took NFL by surprise and had 17 passes defended, 4 interceptions and 55 tackles in 10 games played earning 2011 PFW All-Rookie Team selection. During his NFL career, Sherman won the Super Bowl XLVIII in 2013 while leading the league in interceptions, and received numerous individual honors like 4 Pro Bowl selections, 3 First-team All-Pro selections. Sherman’s career NFL statistics include 367 tackles, 99 passes defended, 32 interceptions and 2 touchdowns.
