The sweepstakes for Richard Sherman didn’t end up much of a competition. The All Pro cornerback made one visit and they didn’t let him leave. The 49ers offered the 29-year-old Sherman a 3-year deal worth the same $13 million per season he was set to receive this season from the Seahawks and naturally he took it.
The Raiders wanted to have a crack at signing Sherman but he never made it across the bay to give them a chance.
This isn’t all bad news, though.
