On the same day the team officially announced they will part ways with John Johnson III, the Cleveland Browns signed his replacement in safety Juan Thornhill to a three-year deal for $21 million. The difference is that JJ3 is not a true free safety and that Thornhill is which is something this team has sorely needed for the past three seasons.
Thornhill has spent his entire four-year career in Kansas City where he helped the team win two Super Bowls as one of the better coverage safeties in the NFL. The Browns continue to have a good week of free agency as they fill major holes and needs before the draft in April giving them more flexibility.
