Not long after his release was announced Monday morning, outside linebacker Paul Kruger released a statement in which he thanked the Browns for his three seasons there but said the team mishandled his release and will regret doing so.

“My experience has been amazing and I will miss wearing a Browns #99,” Kruger tweeted. “Although completely miss handled [sic], unfortunate and absolutely the wrong decision to release me, I do wish the Browns and especially my teammate brothers great success.”

Kruger, 30, never missed a game in three seasons with the Browns. He didn’t expound upon what exactly was mishandled with his release, which was officially announced Monday morning.
