Free agent cornerback Richard Sherman was arrested by Seattle police on Tuesday night on charges of “burglary domestic violence” (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). Sherman was denied bail as the incident is being investigated as a felony. 
Beyond the public record of the arrest, the details are somewhat murky. In a legal context, this may or may not be a typical “burglary” — in DV cases, that could amount to breaking and entering a residence without permission.
Sherman, 33, was limited to just five games in 2020, but he was a second-team All-Pro not too long ago in 2019. Between his asking price, age, and decline in performance, he has yet to find his next NFL home. Last month, we heard that a return to the 49ers — or even the Seahawks — remained possible. However, his Tuesday night arrest will put any football plans on hold.
In 2019, his last full season, Sherman tallied 61 tackles and three interceptions en route to yet another Pro Bowl nod. For his career, Sherman has notched 36 interceptions and 115 passes defensed across ten seasons.
The fact he was denied bail is not a good sign (for him).
you’re denied bail in dv cases until you appear before a judge. common.
Let me guess the defense side ‘He had multiple concussions which lead to CTE therefore, all charges should be dropped’.
This comment is so out-of-touch
With what? No one is forced to play the game. He could have walked with tens of millions, a ring, and plenty of career opportunities 5 years ago.
CTE has been well documented during his whole career. He choose to play. That doesn’t make it an excuse from criminal behavior.
Concussions can be documented but the only way to conclusively prove someone had CTE is with an autopsy…so that wouldn’t fly in a court of law.
No they’ve been able to prove some/few cases through MRI’s and CT scan’s
In hindsight, I bet he wishes he’d just let her keep his stuff and bought himself new stuff.
He didn’t have any altercation with her, she called 911 for other reasons.
i mean he could totally afford it
Sherman should just claim his activities were “mostly peaceful”. That seems to be the trick in avoiding punishment by the court system.
I imagine Sherman will no longer object to a veterans minimum offer.
