SANTA CLARA — Richard Sherman defected from the Seattle Seahawks to the 49ers this past offseason, and he’d like free safety Earl Thomas to do the same in a couple months.
“Would I love to play with Earl B. Thomas III? I’d love to, I’d love to have him back in the locker room,” Sherman said Thursday. “But I’m sure he’ll have a plethora of opportunities and I’m sure we’re going to throw our hat in the ring.”
Thomas’ Seahawks tenure likely ended when, after a contract-extension stalemate all offseason, he sustained a broken leg Sept. 30.
