Veteran cornerback Richard Sherman is flying to Tampa on Tuesday to visit and work out for the Buccaneers, sources confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.
Sherman, who has been in discussions with the Bucs for several weeks, needs a week or two from the time he signs with his next team until he's ready to play, sources told ESPN's Ed Werder.
The Bucs are without Sean Murphy-Bunting, who was placed on injured reserve with a dislocated right elbow Sept. 20. He also serves as the team's nickelback.
Coach Bruce Arians had previously said that general manager Jason Licht had reached out to Sherman to gauge his interest.
