What the fuck are you even talking about?You are being a homer here. It's far more that Chase.
It's their mistreatment of Higgins and Hendrickson. They were staight up disrespect to Higgins.
Add that to years of letting top talent walk because you cant pay them aint helping.
They tagged Higgins. How is that disrespectful? It's not an unheard of thing. He got his money. With Chase coming up on an expected long-term deal it was the smart move for the organization.
Hendrickson signed a 1 year extension. He wanted something longer - which I get. But you can't just fucking pay everyone everything they want all the time every season.
Not sure who you are talking about letting walk because they didn't want to pay them.
The only one I can think of was Whitworth. I was pissed about that one. Dude was a stud and played for like 10 additional years.
I was fine letting Mixon go. RBs have a short shelf life.
I fucking hate the Browns ownership so it feels weird defending their decisions - but your "disrespectful" comment is a bit weird.
