Richard Sherman Signs with Tampa

Tweet

As of today free agent Richard Sherman is no longer so free. He went to practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers yesterday after spending the year unattached to a team. Apparently he liked the atmosphere and winning mentality enough that today he signed the deal. It's only a one year contract but that seems to be enough for the veteran cornerback. Sherman is going through legal issues as well. He's pleaded not guilty to five charges: two counts of domestic violence, criminal trespass in the second degree, malicious mischief in the third degree, resisting arrest and driving under the influence. I'll be honest and say I didn't even know some of those things had degrees but Sherman says that he is deeply remorseful and has stuck by his plea of not guilty. Tampa has done their due diligence in research of the situation and has put together the proper support system Sherman may need. Needless to say they support him knowing what he has done. I'm not sure I remember the whole situation so I'm not judging. I'll leave that to the courts which be will be facing shortly. Congrats on a good addition to your team Tampa...like you needed more lol. *picture from google **info from ESPN
