Darrelle Revis has won a Super Bowl. So has Richard Sherman. Revis has been selected to seven Pro Bowls and is a four-time first-team All-Pro. Sherman, who is in his ninth NFL season and still has work to do, has been selected to five Pro Bowls and is a three-time first-team All-Pro.

The two got in a bit of a social-media spat after Sherman's San Francisco 49ers beat the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game to advance to Super Bowl LIV. Revis criticized Sherman's play on Sunday, and of course, Sherman responded. And he did so in classic Sherman form.

Sherman on Monday joined Rich Eisen on the Rich Eisen Show and was asked about the exchange with Revis, and if there was any previous beef between the two future Hall of Famers.

"It's one of those where a guy who thinks more of himself than the world thinks of him, and feels like I'm getting more credit than I deserve, or something like that," Sherman told Eisen. "Obviously, his stats don't match my stats, so he tries to find other ways to make himself relevant in the conversation."

Sherman added: "Like I said before, I just do what the game plan is. I play the game plan and do what my coach tells me to do, regardless. I don't give a damn. He acts like he called the plays in defenses he played in. He didn't. Just like his year in Tampa when they were playing zone, he was getting cooked up, but it was like, 'Oh my God, that's not the system for him.' When you're a great corner, whatever system you're playing is the system for you."

Eisen and Sherman also discuss the cornerback advancing to his third Super Bowl, when he knew this team was capable of competing for a championship, running back Raheem Mostert, the NFL wanting a 17-game regular-season schedule for each team, and he previews the matchup in two weeks against the Kansas City Chiefs.

49ers view Isaac Yiadom as leading candidate to start at CB, says insider

By David Bonilla

The San Francisco 49ers' signing of cornerback Isaac Yiadom to a one-year deal wasn't a headline-grabbing move. It wasn't even the Bay Area team's most significant free-agency move thus far. That would be defensive end Leonard Floyd signing a two-year deal with the 49ers. However, San Francisco hopes Yiadom proves to be one of its more underrated signings. The 28-year-old defensive back is coming off his best NFL season. Yiadom's 81.1 overall grade and 80.4 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus were career highs. Opposing quarterbacks completed 50 percent of their passes (22 of 44) and owned an 84.4 passer rating when targeting the former New Orleans Saints defender in 2023. RELATED:

49ers actively negotiating with Brandon Aiyuk, not discussing trades, says John Lynch

By David Bonilla

General manager John Lynch addressed reporters at the NFL owners meetings on Monday, emphasizing the San Francisco 49ers' active pursuit of a contract extension for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. There has been significant speculation surrounding Aiyuk's status this offseason. The receiver is slated to play on his fifth-year option, which guarantees him $14.124 million in 2024. While the team would be content with Aiyuk playing on that fifth-year option, it would prefer to secure the star receiver to a long-term deal before he returns to the field.

Details emerge on 49ers' 1-year deals with Jon Feliciano and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles

By Site Staff

Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles recently re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on one-year deals. OverTheCap.com has revealed the contract information for both deals. Feliciano signed a contract that includes the minimum base salary for a player with eight accrued seasons of experience—$1.21 million. Flannigan-Fowles' base salary is slightly higher, at about $1.77 million. Feliciano is scheduled to count about $2.28 million against the 2024 salary cap, while Flannigan-Fowles is slated to consume almost $1.3 million. The linebacker's reduced impact is due to the 49ers using a portion of up to $1.45 million of salary that won't count against the salary cap for veteran players. The 49ers are paying Feliciano a
