Richard Sherman switching teams in NFC West, to join 49ers

Free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman has agreed to a three-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The 49ers had met with Sherman earlier Saturday and wanted to make sure he is healing from his injuries. Sherman is coming off a torn Achilles in one leg and a bone spur in the other. On Friday, Sherman told ESPN's Josina Anderson that he will be back running on the treadmill next week.

He also told Anderson on Friday night that he had received preliminary interest from the Titans, Lions, Raiders, Texans, Buccaneers and Packers.
