Richard Sherman's 49ers tenure might not be over after all.

Long expected to split ways with the Niners this offseason, Sherman, by his own admission, is very on board with the possibility of a reunion.

"There's always a chance it could end up working back in the Bay, that I head back that way," Sherman said on ESPN's First Take on Wednesday. "That's another place I'm really comfortable going. Obviously know the staff, know the team well.

"Just spent time there and would be ecstatic if something happened there."

Sherman, who, last week told First Take's Stephen A. Smith that he hadn't ruled out a return to Santa Clara, also added on Wednesday that any new deal wouldn't come together until late in the offseason or even in the season.
