UPDATED 2/26, 9:05 p.m. ET: Richard Sherman was released from jail on Monday after spending the past two days behind bars, according to The Seattle Times.

Since he was taken into custody early Saturday morning, Sherman was unable to appear before a judge until today. He ended up posting his bail of $5,000.

As part of his release, Sherman cannot drive, consume alcohol or refuse blood or breath tests prior to his court hearing on Wednesday.

Richard Sherman, former cornerback of the Seattle Seahawks, was arrested for a DUI close to Seattle, Washington.

According to online records, the Thursday Night Football analyst was taken and booked in King County Correctional Facility at 7:51 a.m. PT on Saturday. Washington State Patrol reportedly told a local FOX affiliate they're investigating the situation but offered no other details regarding Sherman's arrest.

Sherman has a history of arrests for driving-related violations. In March 2022, the Super Bowl champion pleaded guilty to first-degree negligent driving, second-degree criminal trespass, and speeding in a construction zone regarding his arrest in the previous year when he tried to break down his father-in-law's door.

According to NBC SportsMike Florio, this arrest can be a huge problem for Sherman as he has been under monitored supervision for two years as a result of his arrest in July 2021.

Sherman spent 11 years in the NFL playing for the Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's also a three-time first-team All-Pro player and a five-time Pro Bowler. He won a ring in 2014 when the Seahawks defeated Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
