Future Hall of Famer Richard Sherman was arrested early this morning in Washington for "burglary domestic violence" ... and has been denied bail, TMZ Sports has learned.
The 33-year-old NFL free agent was booked into the King County Correctional Facility in Seattle at 6:08 AM ... and is currently sitting behind bars.
The Burglary Domestic Violence charge is a felony in Washington state ... and can carry a lengthy prison sentence, if convicted.
The details surrounding the arrest are not yet clear.
Sherman -- who played with the San Francisco 49ers last season -- is one of the best players of his generation. RS is a 5x Pro Bowler, Super Bowl Champ, and a lock to be immortalized in Canton, Ohio.
We've reached out to Sherman's rep ... but so far, no word back.
Story developing ...
NFL Ping!.......................
What is this “NFL”?
I’m guessing this will put to rest any idea that the Seahawks will want Sherman back. The Seahawks recently let go of some rookie that they just got a few months ago due to him being investigated on murder charges.
Although the Seahawks have been very forgiving for some crimes and hold on to folks to wait and see and let them go through the justice process, it sounds like they drew the line on a murder investigation.
Thugs in Canton...alongside REAL men like Johnny U, Bart Starr and the rest. His record should keep him OUT of the Hall. But since he has the protective melonen count he’s a lock to get in.
I’m cancelling my trip to Canton.
If the dude was still in his prime I’m sure the Seahawks would sweep this all under the rug and stand behind him.
Isn’t O.J. still there?
CRABTREE!!!!!!! I just remember his post-game interview when he went off on SF 49ers WR Crabtree.
Maybe not as much of a lock anymore...
Roid rage?
National Felon League
Sherman always seemed like such a decent fellow. Lolol
You know it's bad when the Seahawks won't hire a guy just because he's possibly a murderer. They're usually pretty open minded about such things. On the plus side, he's probably already been reached out to by the Cowboys...
As Gino Jennings (black philly preacher) says: “Man, git that horse hair mop off yo haid, ya fool!”
‘Future Hall of Famer’
Ah. Like Pete Rose.
Sherman actually finished Stanford with a 4.0 IIRC and although he’s literally straight outta Compton is a thinking, reasoning human being. His antics on the field were not unlike those of tennis player John McEnroe - coming from being competitive and wanting to get inside his opponents head. Point being he may look gangsta but he’s really led a pretty ok life. Without knowing any more details - it sounds like a domestic situation gone horribly wrong and probably some really poor choices made.
And go figure, the one guy the Cowboys passed on because of character issues was Randy Moss.
Big Mistake....HUGE!
It’s a domestic violence case, and arrests for domestic violence can happen to any man posting here, based on an accusation by an angry wife or girlfriend. I’d put the judgments on hold until more facts come out.
I'd like to hear the facts of what went down before I pass judgement. This could be totally non-violent argument with a nutty woman who locked him out of his own house and a far cry from him being a wife beater.
