Who among us doesn’t enjoy a nice burn on a division rival? I know even I am not above such things. So when I say something that former Cleveland Browns linebacker Christian Kirksey said, I had to get a bit of a laugh out of it.
Originally a third-round pick in 2014 for Cleveland, he has spent his entire career up to this point with the Browns, though injuries have limited him to just nine games over the course of the past two seasons, including just two games this past year.
The team decided to release him—while also letting Joe Schobert go in free agency, turning the position over to the young players—and he turned around and left the conference entirely, ultimately agreeing to terms on a contract with the Green Bay Packers.
