Source: 49ers agree to terms on 3-year deal with Richard Sherman Published on March 11, 2018 at 06:22AM by By Eric Branch After beating them, Richard Sherman will join them. Sherman, the Seahawks brash and loquacious cornerback who has spent much of his seven-year career tormenting the 49ers, agreed to terms on a three-year contract with his longtime NFC West rival Saturday, a league source said. The deal is worth $39 million with a $5 million signing bonus, the NFL Network reported. The signing capped a whirlwind two days for Sherman, 29, who was officially released by the Seahawks on Friday morning, and having dinner with 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan on Friday night in the Bay Area. He had a physical and met with 49ers officials at the team facility Saturday before reaching an agreement late in the afternoon.

Young and brilliant PTSD expert Jennifer Gonzales killed Published on March 11, 2018 at 02:11AM by By Lizzie Johnson She was only 29 years old, but she was already an expert on post-traumatic stress disorder. When the federal Department of Veterans Affairs sent Jennifer Gonzales’ paperwork to Marjorie Morrison, she did a double take. Morrison, the CEO of PsychArmour, a free online library with courses on how to support military veterans, was looking for an expert to write about the subject. She wasn’t expecting someone so young. But that was Gonzales — as brilliant and driven as she was shy and soft-spoken. She had dedicated much of her short life to helping veterans struggling to build a life after deployment.
