His lawyer, Cooper Offenbecher, said in an email on Tuesday that Sherman “is grateful to have this matter concluded.”
“He is focused on spending time with his family, and looks forward to the next steps in his career,” Offenbecher said.
The incident that ended in the arrest of Sherman, a five-time Pro Bowler with the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers, began last July with an argument with his wife, Ashley. He then drank multiple bottles of alcohol, threatened to kill himself, drove while drunk to his in-laws’ house and tried to break down the door in search of his children, according to police statements and 911 calls. He was subdued by multiple police officers and a police dog a little after 2 a.m.
In a statement released a few days after the incident, Sherman said that he was “deeply remorseful” for his actions and that he had been “dealing with some personal challenges over the last several months.”
Sherman joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers midway through the 2021 N.F.L. season after Tom Brady recruited him to shore up the Buccaneers’ porous pass defense. But Sherman played just five regular season games before his season was ended by injuries to his calf and an Achilles’ tendon. Without him, the Buccaneers lost in the divisional round of the playoffs to the Los Angeles Rams, the eventual Super Bowl winners.
