The Cleveland Browns made waves last offseason with their polarizing decision to execute a blockbuster deal for controversial quarterback Deshaun Watson. Interestingly enough, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill recently admitted that he, too, was a realistic grab for the franchise.
At a recent public event, while signing jerseys for fans the speedster revealed to an individual wearing a Browns jersey that he pushed to be sent there, though stated that, unfortunately, the organization was not willing to meet his financial demands.

Though Hill admitted to his previous desire of wanting to go to Cleveland, it's safe to say things wound up working out well for the 29-year-old.
Following failed contract negotiations with Kansas City Chiefs, the star receiver requested a trade from the franchise. Hill was eventually dealt to the Miami Dolphins back on March 23 of 2022. Aside from inking a highly lucrative $120 million contract with the organization, including $72 million in guaranteed salary, Tyreek Hill saw several of his on-field statistics skyrocket to career bests in his seventh season.
Through 17 games played, Hill finished with 119 receptions for 1,710 receiving yards and 8 total touchdowns, good for a fourth-place finish in the league's Offensive Player of the Year voting.
With him in tow, Miami broke a playoff drought that spanned six seasons and finished with the eighth-best offensive rating in the entire league.
