Schlereth stood by his criticism, maintaining his stance despite Jeudy"s pushback on his credibility in the media.

However, Jeudy wasn"t content to let Schlereth have the last word, highlighting generational differences in attitudes towards modern players.
Schlereth, pointing to his Super Bowl rings, defended his perspective.

Ultimately, both parties agreed to move on from the argument, opting to leave the matter unresolved.

Jeudy"s departure from the Broncos saw him traded to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for 2024 fifth- and sixth-round draft picks.
Despite the criticism, the Browns demonstrated their confidence in Jeudy"s potential by securing him to a lucrative three-year, $58 million extension, with $41 million guaranteed.
Although Jeudy has yet to notch a 1,000-yard season in his four-year career, he remains a player with immense talent and potential impact.
Joining the ranks of a formidable Browns offense featuring quarterback Deshaun Watson, running back Nick Chubb, and receiver Amari Cooper, Jeudy aims to make his mark in his new football home.
