Richard Sherman Says He Doesn't 'Really Have a Relationship' With Russell Wilson

The 49ers and Seahawks will face off for the first time this season on Sunday, pitting San Francisco cornerback Richard Sherman against his former team.

Sherman said at a press conference Thursday that he's looking forward to seeing some of his old teammates, but also shared that he does not stay in communication with Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

"I don't really have a relationship with Russell," Sherman said, according to ESPN. "We were teammates. We played through a very special time of the franchise."

Wilson and Sherman played together on the Seahawks team that won Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014 and almost won another the following year.
