when did richard sherman retire

Richard Sherman has not officially announced a formal retirement from the NFL, but he has not played since the 2021 season. During that season, while playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sherman realized that 2021 would probably be his last year due to injuries and the challenge of competing with younger players. He experienced a groin injury during a game that convinced him to consider retirement. Since then, he has transitioned to work as an analyst for Amazon Prime Video's Thursday Night Football but has not signed with another team or played professionally after 2021. He effectively ended his playing career at the conclusion of the 2021 NFL season, and he announced his retirement at the end of the 2021-22 season.
