Browns Release Safety Juan Thornhill After Two Injury-Plagued Seasons

The former Chiefs Super Bowl champion is now a free agent as Cleveland clears cap space for the offseason.

The Cleveland Browns are releasing safety Juan Thornhill, designating him as a post-June 1 cut to save $3.4 million in cap space.
Thornhill signed a three-year, $21 million deal with the Browns in 2023 but struggled with injuries, playing only 11 games in each of the past two seasons.
During his two seasons in Cleveland, Thornhill recorded 103 tackles and four pass breakups but failed to replicate his earlier success with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The 29-year-old safety, a two-time Super Bowl winner with Kansas City, is now exploring his next opportunity in free agency.
The Browns face a challenging offseason, with key players like Myles Garrett requesting trades and others, like Joel Bitonio, contemplating retirement.
