49ers Looking to Keep Richard Sherman

The San Francisco 49ers are interested in making sure that veteran defensive back Richard Sherman remains on the team for 2021, and perhaps beyond.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he hopes that this won’t be the last year for Sherman with the organization, as Sherman is in the final year of this current deal.

“Sherm’s a guy that, personally, and I know [GM John Lynch] feels the same — we went on our team at all times,” Shanahan said, according to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco. “Sherm’s a guy that when he does get older and he does descend, he’s such a good football player, he finds a way.”

Sherman, 32, has missed the majority of this season due to a calf injury.
