Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Joe Thomas criticized the contract Richard Sherman signed with the San Francisco 49ers while acting as his own agent, and the cornerback responded to the shade:
Richard Sherman@joethomas73 It’s actually a case of believing in who I am as a player while also coming of a major injury. But I appreciate ya input
The article that Thomas referenced, by Ben Volin of the Boston Globe, noted that Sherman's three-year, $39 million contract with the Niners was incentive-laden and has no guarantees beyond 2018, making it unlikely that Sherman will ever see all $39 million.
