Cornerback Richard Sherman helped the Seattle Seahawks reach the playoffs five straight seasons from 2012 through 2016 and win a Super Bowl during the span, but that apparently wasn't enough to quiet fans who were upset he signed with a division rival.
On Monday, Sherman fired back at his critics on Twitter:
Richard ShermanInstead of getting upset with me for going to a new team how about you get upset with the people who forced me to go. If one job fires you and another job offers you a great position I highly doubt most ppl would go back to the old job for a lot less money
This comes after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the San Francisco 49ers reached an agreement with Sherman on a three-year deal.
