Kansas City Chiefs

There isn’t much to say about this one other than it would probably upset a lot of SF 49ers fans to see Richard Sherman leave for the team that beat them in the Super Bowl.

Then again, Sherman did leave the Seattle Seahawks for their division arch-rivals, the SF 49ers, in 2018.

Sherman would undoubtedly run to Kansas City on foot if he had a chance to join this star-studded roster. The Chiefs are the NFL’s powerhouse at the moment and are going to be favored to win the Super Bowl on a yearly basis for quite some time. Sherman’s role on this team would actually probably be a little more important than the other teams listed, as the Chiefs secondary unit is less than stellar, meaning he might be their best coverage corner.

Either way, he’d probably have to take a pay cut to play here due to the high volume of blockbuster contracts the Chiefs are on the line for in the coming years.

If he can make the monetary sacrifice and accept an expected pay cut, Sherman may be in line to receive his second Super Bowl ring.
