The San Francisco 49ers have not formally announce the Richard Sherman signing, but it’s safe to say John Lynch let the cat out of the bag on Twitter.
Lynch tweeted this photo late Saturday afternoon, featuring him, chief negotiator Paraag Marathe, Richard Sherman, and Sherman’s partner. Sherman represented himself in free agency, so there is no agent to appear in the photo.
The 49ers will submit the paperwork to the NFLPA and NFL offices and we should hear the official word sooner rather than later. But it’s great to see how quickly and effectively the front office worked to get this done.
