When a player leaves the team that drafted him, there's often a bittersweet feeling, and it can take some time to move on - unless that team is the Cleveland Browns.

Recently signed San Diego Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin was asked at his introductory press conference Thursday if it was tough leaving Cleveland behind. His response:

"Not at all."

In addition to that parting shot at the city of Cleveland, Benjamin said he wanted to go to the Chargers because he never had a quarterback during his four years with the Browns.

Benjamin, who's not the first departing Browns free agent to take a shot at his old team, sure looks happy in San Diego, signing his four-year, $24-million contract.
