a Cleveland Brown for life

@AdamSchefter A gladiator. Spending his career a Brown is more impressive than anything. No quit

@AdamSchefter I’m getting emotional

This along with his goodbye letter has me tearing up a bit... Work ethic, family man, All around good guy and Browns for life!Thanks, Joel!

@H_Grove I will never forget how Joel sealed the edge.

@AdamSchefter This man went through 12 different rebuilds 😩

@AdamSchefter I think Haslam is one of those owners who guys like playing for, but he is not one of those owners that win.

@AdamSchefter how much talent has this team wasted over the years

@AdamSchefter Poor guy

@AdamSchefter Record during his tenure: 69W-127L, .352. Not too sure that is a team record for which to be proud. And others wonder why Garrett agreed to the trade to LA.

Ring of honor this year

@AdamSchefter Another all time great Cleveland Brown whose entire career was wasted. This has to stop.

I’m genuinely emotional watching this farewell. Twelve seasons of pure dedication and class. Bitonio represented everything great about Browns football. Wishing you the absolute best in your well-deserved retirement, Joel! You’ll be missed!

@AdamSchefter Poor guy never won a thing

i love one helmet guys

@AdamSchefter Real class act truly a gentleman. Good luck Joel. Thank you for the memories

Hard to find words to describe what Bitonio meant to this city. A "Brown for life" is exactly how we’ll remember him. Thanks for being the leader this team needed, Joel. Enjoy the next chapter—you’ll always be a legend in the Dawg Pound!

Nice Bro ❤️

Sorry to hear that

Salute #75

How depressing for him

Nice

I will miss you 🤎

@H_Grove You will be missed 🧡🤎 wished you could have got that ring… you’re a class act. Enjoy retirement!

@AdamSchefter Good luck man 👊🏾

@AdamSchefter That’s nothing to brag about

Bro yall about to make me cry at 9:30 in the morning 😢😢😢😢😢

A true Cleveland icon is hanging it up! Joel Bitonio was the heart of that offensive line for so long. You’ve earned every bit of that retirement, legend. Thank you for the grit and passion you brought to every single snap!

Browns energy looking strong 🔥 That presence is unmatched. Cleveland building something real 💪

@AdamSchefter Forever one of us.. LEGEND!! THANKS ♥️

@AdamSchefter Love Joe

Well

He was a class act as a Cleveland Brown and a rare person that stayed with the team that drafted him, not leaving for better money. Browns better give him a Joe Pitonio day at one Browns home game
