Richard Sherman meets with 49ers, signals free-agent tour has just begun | The Sacramento Bee

Richard Sherman put the 49ers first on his free-agent visit list. He signaled Saturday they would not be the last.

“Thank you to everyone for the kind words,” the veteran cornerback wrote on his Twitter account. “This is just another chapter in the journey. This will be an ongoing process and I am excited to take on this challenge. To the fans urging me to join your team, I am humbled but I can only look at the teams that have reached out.”

The 29-year-old cornerback was released by the Seahawks Friday and had dinner with Kyle Shanahan that night in the Bay Area.
