Now he's living with his decision to get paid more to play for that trainwreck of a franchise.
Meh, it's not like he left the Patriots to play for the Browns, and we don't even have a playoff win to rub in his face, yet. But seriously, what are we up to that should make a man regret leaving for tens of millions of dollars?

I worked with Hawk's schoolyard chums and his brother when he got that big contract with the Browns and I assure none of them were trying to talk him into staying with the Bengals so he could feel the glory of regular season wins over the big payout. As fans we seem to really overestimate how close the Bengals are to the Patriots, Steelers, Broncos, Seahawks, Packers etc franchises when it comes to taking a cut to contend and possibly win it all.
