Richard Sherman is undoubtedly one of the cornerbacks of his generation. A Super Bowl winner with the Seattle Seahawks and a 3-time first-team All Pro, Sherman has been a nightmare for wide receivers ever since being drafted in 2011.

Though Sherman’s numbers have fallen over the past couple of seasons, the experience he brings to any side is unparalleled. Currently, on the San Francisco 49ers roster, Sherman believes his time with the franchise is done.

“It’s been made pretty clear,” Sherman said. “It was a good conversation, nothing crazy. Just a good conversation about where they are and where I am, and their plans. We were both very positive and as good as you can be in a situation like this.”

Sherman first hinted at the possibility of an exit in December, citing the team’s tight cap space for 2021.

Struggling with a calf injury, Sherman played just 5 games and recorded a solitary interception for last season. Now looking for a new home, Sherman said he has no regrets looking back at his time with the 49ers.

“Very positive. It was an incredible chapter in my career and I got to meet and play with some incredible human beings,” Sherman said.

“I met some phenomenal coaches, and obviously the relationships that were forged will be lifetime connection,” he added.

Though his playing time with the 49ers might be over, Sherman has insisted that he still has some gas left in him to play out two more seasons.

While Sherman’s numbers haven’t been as impressive in the recent past, the experience he brings to a locker room is something almost any NFL franchise can benefit from.
