Salary cap resources dried up quickly for NFL free agents, which Richard Sherman has learned the hard way. It was previously reported that the Saints were among a group of teams interested in signing the former 49ers and Seahawks cornerback, who represents himself in negotiating with teams.
But with a wealth of options in the 2021 NFL draft (which kicks off in two weeks on Thursday, April 29), teams around the league intend to wait and circle back to Sherman after making their picks. That allows teams to both take a better look at their roster and protect their 2022 compensatory draft picks.
