Richard Sherman breaks silence, cites ‘personal challenges’ after arrest

Free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman is vowing to get help for his mental health issues following an attempted break-in of his in-laws’ home.

“I am deeply remorseful for my action on Tuesday night. I behaved in a manner I am not proud of. I have been dealing with some personal challenges over the last several months, but that is not an excuse for how I acted,” Sherman said in a statement that he posted on social media. “The importance of mental and emotional health is extremely real and I vow to get the help I need. I appreciate all of the people who have reached out in support of me and my family, including our community here in Seattle. I am grateful to have such an amazing wife, family and support system to lean on during this time.”
