Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning relished the opportunity to rip on his old team, the Minnesota Vikings, after a season-saving overtime win on Saturday.
The undrafted QB out of Washington was on and off the Vikings’ practice squad from 2019 to 2021, but the team released Browning in Aug. 2021 and never brought him back. Browning has been with the Bengals ever since.
Browning told the tale about how the Vikings released him. He was sent to a hotel and told to wait there for the news, only to be told through his agent after a couple of hours that he was being let go.
“I’ve been cut my fair share of times, but that was probably the (expletive),” Browning said. “They never should’ve cut me.”
Adding humor to the presser, Browning admitted that he decided not to do his talking until after the Bengals win, stating he didn’t want to “look like an idiot”.
