Bruce Arians and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have started their 2021 title defense on a positive note thus far. The Bucs have 2 wins from 3 games. They sit second in the NFC South division table behind leaders Carolina Panthers. Tampa Bay are not holding back in their bid to win another Super Bowl title, adding veteran Richard Sherman to their roster.

The experienced cornerback was a free agent after ending his short stint with the San Francisco 49ers in the summer. The 5-time Pro Bowler was a hot prospect for teams looking to add some experience to their roster.

There were multiple teams in talks with Sherman over a possible move. However, reigning champions Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won the race for his signature.

Richard Sherman signs for Super Bowl winners Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Richard Sherman arrived in the NFL as a 5th round pick (154th overall) in 2011. The former Stanford player spent 7 years with the Seattle Seahawks. He was part of the famous ‘Legion of Boom’ defense that won the Super Bowl XLVIII trophy under HC Pete Carroll.

Following that, Sherman signed for the Niners. He played under Kyle Shanahan for two seasons before mutually terminating his contract earlier this year. Now, the 2013 NFL interceptions leader will feature for the Buccaneers, having signed a one-year contract this week.
