Sherman is a 49er.
The Seahakws released Sherman earlier this week and he quickly became a hot commodity for teams around the NFL looking to improve defensively, despite declining numbers and an achilles injury that held him out for much of the 2017 season.
Sherman will join his former NFC West rival at a time where teams throughout the division are loading up defensively.
49ers add CB Richard Sherman.
