“We didn’t want him going to Cleveland. They don’t have a team, really, or a quarterback … We were happy with the Miami Dolphins … We love the weather.”

—Reneca Parker, the pro personnel director and mother in the DeVante Parker household, telling the Miami Herald she didn’t think the Browns were an organization or team fit for the talents of her son, the Louisville wideout drafted in the first round by the Dolphins, two slots after Cleveland passed on Parker.

That sucks when your mom even hates on the stains.

Those fans deserve an obamacare exemption.

Poor choice Mom.

You never know what bridges you're going to burn. It's possible some words were said, some promises were made and feelings were hurt before the draft but it's much better to keep your mouth shut and just say nice things about the team that DID draft you and NOTHING about the teams that didn't.

Nobody likes Cleveland. Everyone knows that. You don't go shooting off your mouth and pissing off front office people that may be in a position to do contract offers or other profession related benefits in the future. It's a very small league.

She is the pro personnel director in her house. She knows what she is doing.

There have been some others that were going to hold out if specific teams took them and reenter the draft the next year, Broncos quarterback and one of the Mannings, Joe Greene really did not want to come to the steelers but he did anyway.

The burning bridges comment is a good one.
