The Cleveland Browns acquired Jerry Jeudy from the Denver Broncos in a blockbuster trade, which was made official Wednesday, and it appeared the star wide receiver took a subtle jab at his former team.

Jeudy faced criticism in the final weeks of his tenure with the Broncos as the offense sputtered, and Russell Wilson was on the verge of getting benched. He played in 16 games and had 54 catches for 758 yards and two touchdowns. He had nearly 1,000 yards receiving in 2022.

Now, Jeudy finds himself with Deshaun Watson as his quarterback, Nick Chubb in the backfield and Amari Cooper lining up parallel with him. Cleveland made it to the playoffs last season with Joe Flacco as the interim starting quarterback with Chubb and Watson sidelined.

"I heard that the Browns were interested in me even two years ago," Jeudy said, via the team’s website. "To actually be here, it's a surreal moment. So, I feel like I'm at the right spot because they have been trying to get me for a long time, so I feel like I'm wanted here.
