In a two-day period in August, John Moffitt found himself as a member of three different NFL teams.
After the Seattle Seahawks determined that J.R. Sweezy had beat out Moffitt for the starting job at right guard, the team looked to deal their former third-round draft pick. The Seahawks agreed to a trade with Cleveland to send Moffitt to the Browns in exchange for defensive lineman Brian Sanford, pending physical examinations.
What happened next left a sour taste about Cleveland for Moffitt.
In an interview with Bob and Groz on 710 ESPN-Seattle to discuss his decision to leave football altogether just over a week ago, Moffitt said the Browns failed his physical examination because he wouldnt agree to a pay cut.
I havent said this publicly they suck. Cleveland sucks, Moffitt said. They are so terrible and the way that they did me in that front office is so dirty. They failed me on a b.s. physical.
The Browns voided the trade. A day later, Moffitt was dealt to the Denver Broncos in exchange for defensive tackle Sealver Siliga. Moffitt passed a physical with the Broncos.
