While it was expected, it became official that Trent Brown would not be with the New England Patriots next season.
The offensive tackle signed a 1-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals after a successful visit earlier in the day on Tuesday.
And Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon was quick to react to the news. However, his hilarious response showed how he felt about Brown leaving New England.
“Yall look at this bull s--- ,” he posted on Instagram, as shared by Sophie Weller.
So this season he will be protecting Joe Burrow's left side rather than the Patriots quarterback. And considering they have a rookie quarterback expected to come in and start, a veteran tackle would be key on the line in New England.
Yet, they have been unable to land one in free agency. And Brown is the latest to sign elsewhere.
Brown began his career with the 49ers, being selected in the seventh round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He was traded to the Patriots in 2018 and went on to win a Super Bowl in New England.
After the championship season, Brown signed with the Las Vegas Raiders on a four-year deal, but found himself back in New England for the start of the 2021 season. However, with Brady now gone, things were not the same. And the team was struggling.
With those struggles, Brown's frustration was clear. And he was not afraid to speak with A to Z Sports exclusively a few times, opening up about some decisions he did not agree with. Specifically, the treatment of Malik Cunningham.
And that continued to his introductory press conference, where Brown voiced his happiness to be joining the Bengals, while also sending some major shade towards the Patriots.
So it was clear that he wasn't going to return regardless. And Judon was not happy about that.
