What in the Michael Dean Perry is going on?
First defensive tackle Sean Roger requested a trade, now the Cleveland Browns traded tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for undisclosed draft picks
Winslow Jr. aka K2 was not only the Cleveland Browns most talented player, but also one the team's most controversial.
From the very moment former Browns coach Butch Davis traded draft picks in the 2004 to move up one spot to select Winslow Jr. from "The U" (University of Miami), controversy followed K2.
Following tense negotiations between the Brown his former agents the Poston Brothers, Winslow Jr. broke his leg during his rookie season.
A year later, Winslow Jr.'s severely damaged his knee and shoulder, while attempting motorcycle tricks.
His injuries was so severe that some thought his career was over.
But Winslow's strong will and god given athletic ability, not only got him back on the field, but in 2007 he was named the NFL Pro Bowl.
That year proved that proved that on one good leg, Kellen Winslow Jr. was better than most receivers in the league
But by the dawn of the 2008 season, K2's career in Cleveland was coming to an end.
First, Winslow Jr. griped about a new contract.
The Browns then selected tight end Martin Rucker in fourth round of last year's NFL draft.
During the 2008 season, Winslow's injuries worsened, which not only curtailed his playing time, but Browns fans also learned Winslow contracted a staph infection.
A staph infection which led Winslow to say that he felt the Browns organization didn't care about their players (over the past few years, various Cleveland Browns suffered staph infections, although the team repeatedly that the problem was fixed, players continued to contract the bacterial infection) .
Now Kellen Winslow Jr.will be playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Some would say that losing Winslow Jr.s was addition by subraction.
Maybe, maybe not.
But in losing Winslow Jr, the Cleveland Brown's not only lost their most passionate player, but also their pass catching receiver.
I guess it's safe to say that the Coach Eric Magani era has officially started.
Good luck Browns fans.
