After the New England Patriots lost Malik Cunningham from their practice squad to the Baltimore Ravens’ active roster, several of his now-former teammates took to social media to bid him farewell. The most notable of those statements came from offensive tackle Trent Brown, who said that he wants Cunningham to “go flourish where your talent is respected.”
While that statement in itself might have been innocent, it did raise quite a few eyebrows given one potential interpretation: the Patriots did in not respect the rookie quarterback/wide receiver’s talent.
On Wednesday, Brown doubled down on his take in a conversation with Sophie Weller of A to Z Sports.
