Richard Sherman is scheduled to meet with the San Francisco 49ers in free agency.

The Seattle Seahawks released Sherman on Friday.

The 49ers will work to sign Sherman to a contract if he's healing from his torn Achilles in one leg and a bone spur in the other.

Sherman will begin running on a treadmill next week.

The Titans, Lions, Raiders, Texans, Buccaneers and Packers have also expressed interest in Sherman.

Sherman made it abundantly clear that he wants "to go to a contender."
