Following the news that rookie quarterback/wide receiver hybrid Malik Cunningham was leaving the New England Patriots practice squad to sign with the Baltimore Ravens’ 53-man roster, several of his now-ex-teammates took to social media to react. One of them was offensive tackle Trent Brown, whose message stood out among the others.
Brown, after all, wrote that he wants Cunningham to “go flourish where your talent is respected.” That statement might in itself be innocent, but it will certainly get plenty of attention given the way it can be interpreted: that the Patriots did in fact not respect the youngster’s talent.
