Maybe they wanted Miller over Mack. They tried to trade for Miller last year.
also - wouldn’t need to give up assets
I don’t have issues with Mack but he’s unavailable a lot and I think he’s overrated a bit here because he went to UB
The narrative yesterday from his side is that he didn’t want to stay with the Browns regardless of what happened with Watson. They could throw some money at him I guess and see if that helps.
Consider that Levi may have wanted a fresh start as well. He knows they want to replace him. He was the target on the field for those last 2 plays in KC. When Tre is out there specifically, he’s constantly targeted because they don’t throw at Tre.
