The 49ers could use an infusion of talent in their secondary, and former All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman on Thursday indicated he’s interested bringing a former Seahawks teammate into the fold.
“Would I love to play with Earl V. Thomas III? Sure,” Sherman said when asked about the Seahawks’ pending free-agent safety. “I would love to. I would love to have him back in the locker room, but I’m sure he’ll have a plethora of opportunities, but I’m sure we’re gonna throw our hat in the ring.”
Thomas, 29, is expected to test the open market in the spring after failing to agree to a long-term contract extension with Seattle.
