Richard Sherman huddled with Doug Baldwin, his former teammate at both Stanford and the Seattle Seahawks. Both kneeled on the turf at midfield following another Seahawks’ drubbing, 43-16, of the San Francisco 49ers.
Sherman had never played at CenturyLink Field in anything other than a Seahawks jersey. On Sunday, he left the field with a Seahawks jersey but it was Doug Baldwin’s No. 89. And it contained a personal note just penned by Baldwin.
Baldwin got Sherman’s 49ers’ white, scarlet and gold jersey— described by Bobby Wagner as ugly — that also contained a personal message.
Sherman then wrapped his arm around Seahawks running back Mike Davis on his way out, and for the first time, headed for the visitor’s locker room instead of the home one.
