Report: Sherman in talks with Amazon for role on NFL programming
Former All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman is deep in discussions with Amazon for a significant role in its 2022 NFL programming, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Sherman will stay prepared for another possible opportunity with an NFL team, Rapoport adds.
The veteran cornerback spent the 2021 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but injuries limited him to just five games.
Sherman rose to prominence as a member of the Seattle Seahawks' iconic "Legion of Boom" secondary. He made four Pro Bowls and grabbed 32 interceptions during his seven-year run in Seattle from 2011-2017.
Amazon has made numerous high-profile additions this offseason ahead of its first season as the NFL's exclusive broadcaster of Thursday Night Football. The company brought in Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit to make up the TNF booth.
