After recently having to deal with some off-field issues and remaining unsigned through the early part of the 2021 NFL season, Richard Sherman has found a new home with the reigning Super Bowl champs. With the Tampa Buccaneers, Sherman will fit in nicely with their defense and provide them with depth and veteran leadership in their secondary.
All it took for Sherman to join the Bucs was a recruitment call from Tom Brady, and with a deep and talented defense already in place for Tampa, this is a mutually beneficial partnership that could bring the Lombardi Trophy back to Raymond James Stadium. Looking to repeat as NFL champions in 2022, let's now take a look at the two reasons why Richard Sherman joining the Bucs will help them defend their Super Bowl crown.
Richard Sherman is a proven winner
As a former member of the legion of boom and a vital part of the 49ers defensive squad that played in Super Bowl LIV, Sherman has been a gamechanger and helped reel in a winning culture to every team he's played for. With the Bucs, Sherman will bring that same winning mentality and help to keep this team in contention.
As one of the best corners the game has ever seen, he's shown that he's still got the skills and tenacity to lockdown some of the league's best receivers. With Tampa Bay looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions and Richard Sherman looking to win another ring, this is a signing that gives the Bucs depth in their secondary and a proven winner who will come up with some big stops for them when the game is on the line.

He'll provide the Bucs with additional veteran leadership
Even though the Bucs already possess plenty of veteran leadership, the addition of Richard Sherman will add to this and give them another experienced postseason performer that can keep them motivated on defense. Not to mention his grit and toughness will be a perfect addition to one of the league's most potent defenses.
In an effort to resurrect his career and provide the reigning champs with a ton of relief at the cornerback spot, Sherman is bound to have an immediate impact for the Bucs on defense. Once the playoffs come around, Tampa Bay will see the true value that Sherman brings to their team. His old school brand of smash mouth football is exactly the kind of veteran presence that this team needs to repeat as champions and take the league by storm once again.
After all, if there's anything that's true, it's that experience is what matters the most in the playoffs and in that regard Richard Sherman is accomplished as they come. With so much already going for the Bucs and Sherman seeking another chance to compete for a title, there couldn't be a better opportunity for him then here and now playing with the Brady bunch down in Tampa. So the rest of the NFL better take notice cause Richard Sherman is ready to bolster their defense and show that he's still got plenty left in the tank.
