More Arians on Richard Sherman: "We'll talk and see, and if it's the right fit, it's the right fit and we'll move on it." (fixed typo from earlier tweet)

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are banged up at cornerback, and they might be looking to bring in a former All-Pro who is still a free agent.
Richard Sherman is still available on the open market, and Monday, Bucs head coach Bruce Arians confirmed an earlier report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that Tampa Bay had indeed reached out to the Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champ about potentially joining the defending champs.
Sean Murphy-Bunting suffered a dislocated elbow in Week 1, and there’s still no timetable for his return. Carlton Davis III was a late add to the Week 2 injury report due to a hamstring issue, and Jamel Dean left Sunday’s game for a period of time due to injury, as well.
The Bucs love big, physical corners with long arms, and Sherman certainly checks those boxes. At 33 years old, he may not be the athlete was was earlier in his career, but his skill set and experience would certainly be a boost to a young secondary currently nursing multiple wounds.
