Richard Sherman was a vital member of the “Legion of Boom” during the Seahawks back-to-back Super Bowl runs. Loyalty only goes so far, though. When he tore his Achilles near the end of the 2017 season, Seattle released him, refusing to pay for damaged goods.

Now Sherman is looking for the last laugh. He quickly signed a $39 million contract with the 49ers to stay in the NFC West for the next three seasons. If Sherman gets his way, he will get sweet revenge against his former team twice a year. If he doesn’t, he still has a Super Bowl ring to keep him happy!
