In a move that will piss off a lot of people, let’s call them stupid people, the 49ers signed newly released free agent and their biggest nemesis from their biggest rival, Richard Sherman. of the Seattle Seahawks. Sherman reportedly signed a 3 year, $39 mill deal ($5 mill guaranteed) a couple hours ago. His tour of suitors lasted exactly one team, and he obviously wanted to stay on the West coast, so he did the deed as his own agent to boot.
Frankly, it is a pretty risky move to sign a guy coming off an achilles injury, but Sherman assured everyone he’d be ready come June. Sherman has been a little injury-prone lately, but he’s relatively young as 29 (well, 30 in March 30th), and the premier CB in the past 7 seasons. He leads the lead since 2011 in interceptions at 37, passes defended, and completion percentage against.
As risky as this move is, you have to think that the team has done its diligence, and John Lynch, no slouch himself where it comes to being a defensive back, has to be licking his chops at gaining Sherman. I think it’s a great move. I also think it is a poke in the eye to Pete Carroll. Which I really dig. What do you think?
Forty Niners Forever 
Lynch played 15 years for Tampa and Denver ! He probably has the inside skinny on Talib because of his close ties to both franchises ! (Talib played 5 years with tampa and 4 with Denver)
Don’t forget Talib is a 5 time pro bowler and superbowl champion.
I think Lynch saw a secondary that got shredded weekly and would sign just about anyone to improve it. I sure didn’t want Talib, but I’d want him over Brock.
At least Sherman was willing to come here . That dipstick Talib blocked a trade here to go to the Rams !
Just for fun …
miami Dolphins likely to release DT Ndamukong Suh
The Miami Dolphins’ roster purge won’t be limited to just Jarvis Landry and Jay Ajayi.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday the team is likely to release three-time All-Pro defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh before the new league year begins Wednesday.
Hard to believe Ndamukong Suh is only 31. It feels like he’s been around for 15 years.
I like getting FAs but we can’t go too deep in that pool. A guard and a WR should be sufficient.
New thread is up . . .
On KNBR this morning they say the contract is mostly incentive layered, he has to play a certain number of games. Interceptions, passes defended….etc
