Unbelievable.

Kind of a dick move even for Richard (pun kinda intended).

There is nothing scummy about this. He's a native Californian, he went to college bout 30 minutes away, and it seems unlikely that anyone else was going to offer that much money to a 30-year-old coming of Achilles surgery.

It might suck to see him in red and gold, but the Seahawks made a business decision to let him go, and he took an offer that seems to be a good fit for him.

Can’t wait for Russell and Doug to torch him twice a year.

Not sure why anybody would think this is "scummy". It's not like he asked for his release so he could sign there.

Low signing bonus likely means a 1 year deal with option. If he doesn’t play well off the injury, it will be a short stay. No sweat for the niners to pay him 13m though, they have tons of cap space. Worth the risk for them I guess, but still pretty surprising commitment considering his situation.

I thought he wanted to go to a contender though? 49ers not even in the division hunt yet, it’s possible, but they are completely unproven. Def not ready for a SB, that’s for sure.

I am sure he can’t wait to wag his finger from the far sideline in centurylink. He has always been such an ‘I told you so’ person. Sadly for Sherman I don’t think this changes the outcome, we are still beating the niners next year.

This definitely tarnishes his Seahawks legacy in my mind (doesn’t change his accomplishments, just perception of him). You don’t go to a division rival like that, you just don’t.

Guess he wanted to stay close to his home town. It has barely been 24 hours. Didn't even shop around much. Hope Russ torches him and often. Richard does like to whine a lot, so I guess it fits. $39M, $5M signing speaks louder than any sense of old team loyalties. That is a lot of cash.

This is exactly what Pete and John deserve. Hope he does well. The fact that he went to the 49ers is not an accident, and it leads me to believe we didn't part with him on the best of terms.
