San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman has done a 180 and now says that Baker Mayfield deserves an apology as a result of #HandshakeGate. After Monday's game, Sherman claimed that Mayfield wouldn't shake his hand during the pregame and that fired him up.

After Sherman made the claim a couple of videos emerged on Twitter that shows Mayfield and Sherman shaking hands. Sherman made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday and apologized for everything that has happened since, and said that he would be reaching out to Mayfield to apologize.
“It’s definitely my bad,” Sherman told McAfee. “I never want anybody to deal with some sh-t that — I mean some some stuff — that they didn’t do. And so, you know, the questions that he’s gonna get and the annoying, nonsense questions about some stuff that happened in a game that’s already been done, you know, sure he’ll get an apology for that.
“I’ll probably reach out to him via text or social media to actually get ahold of him and talk to him in person, I mean on the phone. But, yeah, because that sucks. . . . But yeah, yeah. He definitely deserves an apology, and my bad on that.”
Even with the apology, Sherman still claims that it wasn't that handshake he was mad about, it was actually that Mayfield wouldn't give a second handshake after the coin flip occurred. If that really is the case it seems that Sherman is just grasping for straws and trying to not make himself look worse.
Either way, hopefully, Sherman and Mayfield can talk and that will be the end of #Handshake Gate.
