Jared Verse‘s immediate reaction to the trade that sent him and draft picks to Cleveland for Myles Garrett was pain. However, he quickly flipped his demeanor.
Joining NFL Network’s Good Morning Football on Wednesday, Verse said that after the initial shock wore off, he became excited to be a part of what Todd Monken and the Browns are building.
“I’d be lying to y’all if I say it didn’t hurt, if it didn’t bother me,” he said of the trade. “You build relationships with people, you build a routine, then you start getting close, you start imagining your whole career in one place, and then you don’t get a warning; it just kind of pops up on you one day, and you just gotta swallow it. It’s a big pill you gotta swallow, like, all right, it changes everything.
“But once I got to Cleveland, I met the coaches, I met my teammates, I met the staff, I saw the vision that they not only have for me, but for the whole team, I started getting excited, I started getting hyped up. I was like, man, forget this offseason, this little camp, preseason — let’s get right to the season so we could start right now.”
