    Richard Sherman Urges 49ers to Trade for Vita Vea

    Former 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman has called on the team's general manager, John Lynch, to acquire defensive tackle Vita Vea from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sherman believes that trading for Vea, who is from near San Francisco, would significantly strengthen the 49ers' defensive line, especially against the run. Despite the Buccaneers' poor start to the season, Sherman thinks the 49ers should only need to give up a third-round pick to secure Vea's services for at least one season.
