Friday, the Seattle Seahawks released All Pro cornerback Richard Sherman with hopes of bringing him back at a lower price tag. Saturday, Sherman spent the day negotiating with the front office of the Seahawks biggest rival, the San Francisco 49ers, and by the end of the day had secured himself a new contract.
Reports nearly immediately emerged that the contract was for three years and up to $39M with a $5M signing bonus, but specifics on the contract weren’t immediately reported. However, with the details now starting to come out, we can go ahead and start to take a look at the terms and see what the contract really looks like.
