Less than 24 hours after being officially released by the Seattle Seahawks, Pro Bowl cornerback Richard Sherman is already drawing a ton of interest.
He’s currrently meeting with the San Francisco 49ers’ brass and will undergo a physical with the team.
Should a signing not happen before Sherman leaves Santa Clara, his next visit will reportedly be with the Detroit Lions.
Detroit would be a very intriguing landing spot for Sherman. The team has a talented corner in Darius Slay. Lining up a future Hall of Famer opposite him would do wonders for the team’s defense.
Of course, this is all dependent on Sherman actually leaving Northern California without a contract. He took to Twitter on Saturday to provide an update on his free agency.
That makes it sounds like his tour will extend beyond the 49ers.
Sherman, 29, is coming off a 2017 campaign that saw him miss seven games with an Achilles injury. He has since undergone surgery on his other Achilles. Health will surely play a role in the type of contract Sherman receives in free agency.
