Sherman announced Wednesday via Pro Football Focus' "The Richard Sherman Podcast" that he will sign a one-year deal with the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, Sherman will take part in practice with the Buccaneers later Wednesday, putting him on track to make his team debut this weekend in New England. The 33-year-old appeared in only five games for the 49ers in 2020 due to calf injuries, but he's fully healthy now and remade his body over the offseason, dropping about 15 pounds to get down to around 195 pounds. The five-time Pro Bowler will provide immediate aid to a Tampa Bay secondary that likely will be without two of its top three cornerbacks in Jamel Dean (knee) and Sean Murphy-Bunting (elbow) in Week 4.

Sherman is scheduled to visit the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.

EDGE Analysis

Both of Sherman's former teams -- the Seahawks and 49ers -- have been in contact with the veteran cornerback since the start of the season, but the trip to Tampa Bay marks his first in-person meeting as he looks to resume his career. Sherman made headlines this summer when he was arrested in Washington on five misdemeanor charges, and though he has since pled not guilty to all charges and has sought therapy, he could still face discipline from the league at some point down the road. Lower-body injuries have sidelined the five-time Pro Bowl selection for six games over the past two seasons, but when available to suit up, the 33-year-old has shown that he can still play at a high level.

Sherman (calf) has drawn interest from multiple teams in recent days and expects to return to the field at some point in 2021, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman was limited to five games with the 49ers in 2020 on account of a calf injury, but health doesn't seem to be a concern for the veteran cornerback at this point. Instead, the 33-year-old's potential union with a team has been delayed by his ongoing legal situation stemming from his July arrest in Washington on five misdemeanor charges. Sherman pled not guilty to all charges and has sought therapy in the aftermath of the incident, and he's also kept himself in shape while working out on his own, cutting about 15 pounds to get down to 195 pounds, his playing weight from his peak years with Seattle. According to Pelissero, the Buccaneers, 49ers and Seahawks have all maintained contact with Sherman after having all had their cornerback depth tested by injuries early on this season.

Sherman (calf) is facing five misdemeanor charges after being arrested Wednesday, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The charges are for criminal trespass in the second degree, malicious mischief in the third degree, resisting arrest, driving while under the influence and reckless endangerment of roadway workers. ESPN reports that Sherman will enter not-guilty pleas at his arraignment Friday afternoon. The 33-year-old is a free agent.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman is facing charges of criminal trespass, malicious mischief, resisting arrest and driving under the influence. The next hearing in his case will come Friday, though Sherman won't be present. Currently an unrestricted free agent, Sherman's status remains in question for the upcoming season.

Sherman (calf) was arrested Wednesday on burglary domestic violence charges, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman was denied bail following his arrest. While the details of the situation aren't yet known, the free agent's status for the start of the 2021 season will likely be dependent on the results of an investigation.

Sherman (calf) has been ruled out for San Francisco's regular-season finale against Seattle, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's now confirmed the five-time Pro Bowler will miss back-to-back games to close out his third campaign with the 49ers. Sherman sat out just three combined games over his first two years with the team, but a calf injury has held the 32-year-old to five appearances in 2020. With the veteran set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, it remains to be seen if Sherman has played his last game as a 49er.

Sherman (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

With San Francisco mathematically eliminated from NFC playoff contention, there's lessened motivation to rush back the three-time All-Pro. Sherman endured a calf injury earlier in the season that cost him nine games, and with yet another issue having surfaced, it's possible he's suited up for the last time as a 49er. The 32-year-old's contract is up at the end of 2020, while San Francisco sits at 16th in cap space moving into next season.

Sherman (calf) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman reported calf soreness after this past Sunday's 41-33 loss to the Cowboys. The veteran cornerback already missed nine games this year due to a calf injury, so there is expected concern about his health. As a result, Sherman's status for the rest of the season is in question, per Cam Inman of The Mercury News. The 32-year-old is set to be an unrestricted free agent in March, and he has already stated that it would be a "miracle" if he re-signed with the 49ers this offseason. With the playoffs out of reach, Sherman may be best served to sit out and ensure he's at 100 percent next season.

Sherman posted seven tackles (six solo), a pass breakup and an interception in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

After 10 games on IR, Sherman made his presence known in his return to the lineup with his 36th career interception. It was immediately a boost to the 49ers' defense, which held Jared Goff to a season-low 198 passing yards to combine with no touchdowns and two picks. Sherman will look to keep it rolling in another tough matchup against the Bills in Week 13.
