When Richard Sherman was released by Seattle he was vengeful. He felt shunned by the empire he helped build. He was not, however, the same Sherman he was when the Legion of oom was in its prime. Coming off a torn achilles, his future as an elite corner was up in the air. John Lynch took a chance with the aging vet and brought him to San Francisco.
Initially I wasn’t super hype about the signing. Achilles injuries are tricky, and then when it was reported he had to have another surgery on the opposite heel, my memories of the “ACL all-stars” created a natural bias.
