Former Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas has revealed why he turned down an opportunity to play with quarterback Peyton Manning and chose to remain with the Browns for his entire career.
Thomas, a 10-time Pro Bowler who played 11 seasons in Cleveland, discussed his decision during a recent interview. He explained that loyalty to the organization and the city of Cleveland outweighed the chance to join a championship contender led by Manning.
The Hall of Fame left tackle retired after the 2017 season and has since become a media personality. His comments shed light on the rare commitment of a franchise player staying with one team throughout his career.
