The best cornerback on the market is still available heading into Week 2 of the NFL season. Former Seahawks All-Pro Richard Sherman is getting interest from multiple teams, though – according to a report by Tom Pelissero at NFL Network.

“Sources say the Super Bowl champion Buccaneers touched base with Sherman, 33, last week after they lost starting cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting indefinitely with a dislocated elbow. The 49ers also have maintained contact with Sherman since his contract expired in March and, after losing Jason Verrett to a season-ending knee injury in Week 1, expressed interest in bringing Sherman back later in the season. The Seahawks have been open about their talks with Sherman about a potential reunion, as well.”

Seattle makes sense for Sherman on a number of levels. The Seahawks have been shuffling their cornerback rotation a lot in recent weeks and have a couple of them on the injured reserve list.

Today’s game should give us a better idea of just how much help they need at this position. The Titans have arguably the best 1-2 punch at wide receiver in the league with A.J. Brown and Julio Jones. If Seattle struggles in coverage the front office should consider bringing in Sherman or another veteran to help.
