New York Jets tight end Kellen Winslow has admitted his annoyance over the manner of his exit from the Seattle Seahawks last year.
The 30-year-old was traded from Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Seahawks in April 2012, but he was released by the club in September after refusing to take a pay cut.
"What happened in Seattle, I couldn't control that," Winslow told Newsday.
"They cut me after training camp. That was out of my control. And they cut me over money. So they put me in a bad situation.
"I've never been put in that situation ... You just don't do a vet like that. And that's pretty much it."
Winslow was drafted sixth overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 2004 draft.
