Report: How Bucs CBs Play Today Will Decide Status Of Richard Sherman Talks
September 19th, 2021
Former All-Pro CB Richard Sherman.
A prominent national NFL writer suggests that if the Bucs’ corners get lit up today, Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht will likely begin serious talks with Richard Sherman’s people tonight.
That’s the word from long-time NFL reporter Ed Werder of BSPN. Werder twittered out today that the Bucs are inclined to see how Jamel Dean and Ross Cockrell fare against Matty Ice, Calvin Ridley and Kyle Pitts this afternoon.
Earlier this morning, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported the Bucs had reached out to Sherman’s representatives already.
If the Bucs corners are roasted like they were against Dallas in the season-opener, Werder types, the talks between Licht and Sherman’s camp will heat up.
Based on my reporting it seems the #Bucs contacted CB Richard Sherman but had determined they would get through today’s game and potentially have more serious discussions next week. Sherman has been working out daily and probably needs a week or two of practice to be game ready.

The main issue Joe believes is Carlton Davis’ hamstring. We do not know for sure if he will play or how serious the hamstring injury is. He is listed as questionable.
Hamstrings simply do not heal up in a day or two. If Sherman needs two weeks to practice, at best he may be ready to face the Belicheats in two weeks. That is, if Licht and the Bucs sign him right away.
If Dean can handle things this afternoon and Davis appears to be OK, the interest in Sherman will likely cool off.
Sherman sure appears to be close to done the way he played last year. Consider John Lynch and the 49ers are desperate for corners and Lynch decided not to bring Sherman back. That pretty much tells you all you need to know.

Sign Sherman for $20 bucks an hour
September 19th, 2021 at 2:03 pm
So are we only suiting up 4 active Corners today? CDIII, Dean, Ross and Double Dee…
Thought we’d elevate one of Herb or Desir from the PS for this game
September 19th, 2021 at 2:06 pm
Sure. Why not? This year’s AB.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:07 pm
I’m all for it. Ive said it since the draft the secondary is the weakest link. If we’re going for “2” then the first and second picks of the draft are Dline and secondary. I like Trask but I’m in it to win it. Tre Smith also was a way better option than Hansey. Giving Licht major props for the previous drafts so we will wait and see. We need the depth or we need to active on the trade block.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:08 pm
Yes please!
September 19th, 2021 at 2:10 pm
Pete you make me laugh daily good meds.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:10 pm
Will find out officially at 2:35 pm when active roster is released.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:21 pm
I guess we can hope hes not washed up if the Bucs sign him. We can always have our hopes.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:22 pm
god I hope they play good.. I dont want this tool on this team.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:23 pm
Richard Sherman is more likely to resign with San Fran, now that they’ve lost Jason Verrett.
Sherman alreadys knows their system.
There are better CB free agents out there
September 19th, 2021 at 2:24 pm
Jaymiss!!! showing up in Carolina
September 19th, 2021 at 2:26 pm
Pete’s funny and I think the point is well taken. I think the demand for Sherman is lower than his agent is letting on. If Sherman goes unsigned this season, his career is over. He’s a cheap date.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:26 pm
The Panthers DL looks really good. Winston is running for his life the entire 1st half and has already thrown 1 pick.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:27 pm
Would prefer any other CB in the team before him. Never liked this guy.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:28 pm
Man, there’s going to be another war on this board if Jameis loses today.
I’m bringing the beer and popcorn.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:28 pm
Knoxville Buc
Yeah, pretty obvious screw up.
Dean was toasted frequently last year. We had a need at CB. Probably the only true need.
We had 3 capable QBs, and if Brady gets hurt- we’ll probably suck again no matter whos playing QB.
We NEEDED A CB.
I raised hell on draft day. Still am.
Trask was yet another 2nd round blunder. A wasted pick.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:28 pm
I hope you let your bet ride INT Winston
September 19th, 2021 at 2:32 pm
Really? Winston throws a hail mary on 3rd and long and people are taking a victory lap? LOL! Talk about your fake news hacks.
Said it last week when Brady threw an INT to end the half, that if it was Winston, they wouldn’t be saying it’s not his fault – it’s a hail mary, who cares, nope, they’d be saying Winston sucks, what an awful play.
Here you go, as I said…
Also the stupid Panthers might not suck this year, that would be terrible. The non-COVID Saints are going to be good, and if the Panthers are also good, that’s just BS as the nerds on this board promised me we’d go 17-0 and easily win the SB.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:33 pm
I just read on the NFL site where Sherman is his own agent.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:33 pm
I don’t care if we bring in someone from The Mean Machine with the ankle bracelet and all. If we give up more than 250 yards in the air to these Dixie Chick bums, we have a problem Houston.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:34 pm
Screw Sherman, call up Ronde. I saw him on video today, he looks the same, can probably still play.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:40 pm
Ronde would get smoked like everyone else if he played, probably worse. This is 2020 not 2002.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:40 pm
ok…2021, it feels like 2020 all over again
September 19th, 2021 at 2:43 pm
You don’t even know what year it is and you MOCK my idea?!?! WOW. Getting that date wrong PROVES I know more than you. PROVES IT!!!!
September 19th, 2021 at 2:45 pm
Time to celebrate JW3 haters. He’s getting no protection and threw one to the endzone with 20 secs left that got picked. Lead to zero points. This is one of the things I like about Jameis. He rather give his team a chance to win than protect his personal stats.
I though Sherman was battling a calf injury last year. Other than that I heard he was playing well. It would be a great signing for depth late into the season. A vet in that backend would be smart.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:50 pm
Stanglassman – yeah, but he turned the ball over and you can’t win if you turn it over!!!!! He should have done like Mike Glennon or Derrick Carr and threw it out of bounds and protected his stat sheet.
As for the Saints, said it in the other thread, but they have no legit NFL WRs, so the Panthers are just playing man-to-man and blitzing every play – if they did that against the Bucs, Brady would put up 90 since the Bucs have a ton of WRs and TEs that can all beat man-to-man coverage.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:53 pm
Dude breath it’s ok maybe if y’all wasn’t acting like something was proven last week you wouldn’t be having a panic attack smh.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:53 pm
@Rod Munch
Excuse me but was it not you who was taking the proverbial victory lap last week after Jameis had one decent game where everything went right and his team essentially carried him?
“Jameis just threw 5 TDs and 0 Ints and y’all are gonna act like that’s insignificant?”
That was you right? Anyone paying attention for the last 6+ years knew not to make much ado about last week, because Jameis’ biggest question mark has always been and will continue to be INCONSISTENCY!
Don’t celebrate his good games if you are willing to weigh his bad games in equal measure my guy.
It makes you look like a pair of clown shoes.
September 19th, 2021 at 2:56 pm
if you *aren’t*
September 19th, 2021 at 3:01 pm
DingleBerry that’s why he’s so jumpy right now relax bro.
September 19th, 2021 at 3:09 pm
You are correct, Dingleberry.
September 19th, 2021 at 3:12 pm
7 years later and Winston still divides the fanbase.
I think its kinda sad only because he is a Saint now. If there is any one thing I would think all Bucs fans could agree on it would be Saints hatred. Its a shame thats not the case.
September 19th, 2021 at 3:32 pm
Shut down the Saints run game, they’ve got NOTHING…
Panthers either looking better than 1st thought or Saints defense against Packers last week was just an illusion…

That’s a quote? There’s nothing calling you an idiot, or saying you’re stupid, or calling you a dope. Doesn’t sound like me.
September 19th, 2021 at 3:39 pm
Tye – The Saints are missing a ton of coaches to COVID and put at least 2 defensive starters on short term IR. But I do agree, and said it last week, a good team like GB losing that bad is just a mirage, like how the Bucs lost to the Saints last year, and how we destroyed the Packers. Most teams have ‘one of those games’ each year, and you can’t judge your season based on that.
As for stopping the Saints, until Michael Thomas is back, they don’t have any legit NFL receivers – so if you can get an early lead and force them to throw, you’re going to get them in trouble. But they also are going to have one of the best defenses in football, so that’s not going to happen often.
If I’m wrong, then great, I’d rather have the Saints knocked out early.
September 19th, 2021 at 3:42 pm
I make fun of Carr all the time, but he just threw a great pass to Ruggs. He’s been such an awful, Mike Glennon level QB for so long it’s hard to take him seriously if he’s not that. Then again last week he looked like Mike Glennon for 3 1/2 quarters, so I’ll hold back my MVP vote for now. But he does, shockingly, look good.
Also a Steelers fan said the Raiders always win vs Pittsburgh. I should have listened and laid down some money.

“Jameis Winston’s butt drives me nuts” – Rod Munch
Hilarious how last week it wasn’t one of those games for GB, but rather Jameis turning the corner. The mental gymnastics you go through to support someone who lets you down time and time again is truly hilarious. Keep up the good work you glorified Jameis Winston hand knitted nut warmer.
September 19th, 2021 at 3:47 pm
Derek Carr has been a better QB than Jameis for quite some time now, the inner machinations of your mind are truly an enigma…
September 19th, 2021 at 3:49 pm
DingleBerry – dummy, I never ever would have said Winston turned a corner last week. Winston doesn’t need to turn the corner as he was never the issue in Tampa. Get your quotes and figure out who you’re talking to you silly fruit.
September 19th, 2021 at 3:51 pm
Matt Gay just made a clutch kick. Wow… The curse of Donald Igwebuike is real.
September 19th, 2021 at 3:51 pm
Oh I see, so I was giving you even more credit than you deserved. You are a special kind of delusional.
September 19th, 2021 at 3:53 pm
“Winston doesn’t need to turn the corner as he was never the issue in Tampa”
OFFICIALLY, the stupidest thing ever said on this website.
😂🤣😂
September 19th, 2021 at 3:53 pm
DingleBerry – You’re not even having a conversation with the right person and you’re calling me delusional?
September 19th, 2021 at 3:54 pm
Dooodoooschue… about time people are showing up, it’s getting boring in this place.
September 19th, 2021 at 3:54 pm
LOL, my neighbor said we might consider trying out Gabby Petito’s Boyfriend, as a slot receiver. So far, he seems pretty elusive.
Seriously, if we can sign Richard Sherman, I say go for it.
September 19th, 2021 at 3:56 pm
Switch over to the Gameday thread Fancy Man.
It’s time to learn us all!
September 19th, 2021 at 4:01 pm
What are you on about now Butt Munch? My last comment was in direct response to you saying Winston didn’t need to turn the corner…
You are aware that despite his Start against GB being his first in over 600 days he still has more turnovers than any other player since he entered the league right?
I agree with Doosh.
September 19th, 2021 at 5:00 pm
Dingle Barry making fun of someone’s else’s screen name is hilarious.
September 19th, 2021 at 5:40 pm
Winston INT on a Hail Mary? LOL
That was no Hail Mary. He had one WR on the route and tried to force an impossible throw after rolling out and getting hammered. Bad decision making.
September 19th, 2021 at 5:42 pm
Stanglassman – Also ‘Rod Munch’ is a legendary line from Beavis and Butt-Head, when people don’t get that, and think they’re making a brilliant discovery… it’s never not amusing to me.
But to be clear, I’m totally for trash talking — I wish more people would do it. Makes sports more fun.
September 19th, 2021 at 5:44 pm
BradyBucs — On a 3rd and 15, from the 45, with 20 seconds left — you try to make a play, ‘basically a hail mary’… LOL! If you don’t think that is ‘basically a hail mary’ then your blinding hatred has, well, blinded you.
September 19th, 2021 at 6:01 pm
It was 3rd and 10 from the 40 with 29 seconds left. Live to 4th down and let the coach make a decision.
September 19th, 2021 at 8:01 pm
Did you see the 2nd Jameis interception? They need to put him in a clown costume. Inexcusable.
September 20th, 2021 at 3:13 am
Sherman is probly worth a tryout to see what his physical limits are. Seeing him and brady on same team .. after leaving 49ers… would be coool…;)
September 21st, 2021 at 4:24 pm
Hail Mary HaHaHaHaHaHaHa
I’m still laughing just got tired of typing it.
Boy looked like an absolute clown trying to throw that ball.
It was indecision, poor execution and showed everything that makes Jaymiss an idiot.
He will throw 8 picks against the Bucs alone.
That’s assuming he even makes it to the Bucs game.
