The Cleveland Browns are making significant roster changes as they announce the release of safety Juan Thornhill. His exit follows a season marred by injury, including a calf issue that limited his playtime. Thornhill, who joined the Browns after a successful spell with the Kansas City Chiefs, had a solid performance during his time in Cleveland, logging over 100 tackles and several pass defenses in just two seasons. The Browns' decision to part ways will free up $3.4 million in salary cap space, a crucial move as they navigate offseason adjustments.
In a series of social media posts, Thornhill hinted at his ambitions for the upcoming 2025 season, expressing a desire to prove his worth in the league. His comments have stirred speculation about where he might land next. With NFL teams allowed only two post-June 1 cuts per offseason, the Browns' choice to release Thornhill could signal a broader strategy as they prepare for the next season.
