Richard Sherman Signs One-Year Deal With The Buccaneers

Veteran cornerback Richard Sherman signed a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this morning. Sherman stated that it was “The best offer I had” indicating it was dumb not to chose the Bucs after they reached out to him.

Another factor that helped influence Sherman was Tom Brady, QB for the Buccaneers, reaching out to him as he is one of the all-time great QB’s ever. Once Brady reached out to him, he said that “Anytime He [Tom Brady] makes that call, it’s a very difficult opportunity to pass up” showing how much of an impact Brady has on players around the league.

Even though Sherman is a notable cornerback around the league he still insisted on getting a week to prepare and get comfortable with Bruce Arians scheme. It’s going to be tough to not see him not suited up this week however as the Buccaneers defense is pretty banged up.

The article had good content but it definitely could’ve used more. The article is objective as it just states the facts and leaves the author’s opinion out of the conversation. The quotes throughout the article were effectively used and allowed the reader to get a good idea of what Sherman brings to the team’s defense.

Something that would’ve made this article better however, is leaving out all the legal matter Sherman has had to deal with since the article is mainly talking about the signing and how it impacts the team and not about what Sherman is doing of the field.
