Good deal for both sides. The Niners are only on the hook for 7 mil up front. If he’s healthy enough to make the roster, it’s two more. If he plays in games, it’s one more, and if he makes the pro bowl he gets 3 more and a guaranteed second year.

In general it means it’s a 1 year 9-10 mil deal for the Niners with two years of team option, unless he makes the pro-bowl. Limited risk for the Niners, and if Sherman makes the big$, it will be because he earned it. I’m sure if Sherman shopped around more he could have found more guaranteed $, but I like that he’s betting on himself and as a Niners fan, I’m thrilled to have him. He is literally the prototype CB for how to play D in our scheme, and will be a great veteran voice on a very young defense.
