The Cleveland Browns have been going through a spring cleaning of sorts, with the franchise releasing veterans and letting free agents walk.
The latest casualty? Safety Donte Whitner, who happens to be a Cleveland native. He wasn’t too happy to be released weeks after NFL free agency began and appeared to take a shot at chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta, who’s most famous for helping the Moneyball-era Oakland A’s become a successful franchise:
It’s far from the first time DePodesta has heard jokes from someone about his baseball past, but he doesn’t seem to care at all as he helps overhaul a franchise that could use a reboot. Nor should he, especially if he’s slowly getting the Browns on the right track.
