New England Patriots offensive lineman Trent Brown appeared to take a jab at the organization as he congratulated quarterback Malik Cunningham for signing with the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad.
Cunningham joined the Ravens after starting his season with the Patriots. He fought to start for the Patriots as Mac Jones failed to meet expectations and Bailey Zappe was not playing consistently enough to take over. However, head coach Bill Belichick never made the move.

Brown used the moment to swipe at the Patriots organization on his Instagram Stories.
