New San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman says playing in the NFC West and having the opportunity to face his former team, the Seattle Seahawks, twice per season played a role in his free-agent decision, telling The MMQB on Sunday that "I'm vengeful in that way."
Sherman acknowledged his feelings after seeing the reaction from Seahawks fans to his signing with one of their rivals.
"I love the fan base to death, and I loved playing there. It was such a great opportunity. I helped the organization get to a great place and stay there," Sherman told The MMQB.
