Once upon a time, Willie Snead was a hungry young receiver hoping to catch on with the Cleveland Browns. Back in 2014, Snead signed with Cleveland as an undrafted free agent from Ball State. He didn’t quite make the team, but did show enough to land with the Carolina Panthers after the final roster cutdowns.
Snead has progressed to have a nice NFL career. He’s spent the last two years in Baltimore, catching 93 passes while starting 21 games. But he apparently still holds it against the Browns for not keeping him all those years ago.
Snead, in a Twitter post he deleted, called out the Browns for signing Myles Garrett to his 5-year, $125 million contract extension while referencing Garrett’s fine and suspension for his actions in the Week 11 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers last year.
He explained why he was taking shots at Cleveland in a response to the deleted tweet.
Given time to think about his words and the considerable blowback, Snead apologized. Sort of…
That’s where Garrett stepped in and reminded Snead of the 40-25 beatdown the Browns put on the Ravens in Baltimore last season.
Linebacker Mack Wilson got in on the act too, posting a telltale photo from that game.
