Juan Thornhill: Cut by Pittsburgh
Juan Thornhill was waived by the Steelers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Thornhill has played in all nine contests with Pittsburgh this season, recording 38 total tackles (23 solo) and a pass defensed. The 30-year-old played sparingly in the last two contests though, as Jalen Ramsey has taken over as the team's starting free safety.

Steelers' Juan Thornhill: Takes back seat in loss
Juan Thornhill recorded six tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 21-14 win at New England.Jabrill Peppers saw his first defensive snaps of the season in Week 3, and they mostly came at the expense of Thornhill, who only played 26 of the Pittsburgh Steelers' 71 defensive snaps. Things will only get complicated further when DeShon Elliott (knee) comes back into the fold, so Thornhill's role in Pittsburgh's defensive backfield looks like it might be on shaky ground as the season develops.

Browns' Juan Thornhill: In line to be released
Juan Thornhill said Monday that the Cleveland Browns have informed him he will be released at the start of the new league year in March, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.Thornhill will be designated a post-June 1 cut, a move that will save Cleveland $3.2 million against the cap for 2025. The veteran safety has one year remaining on the three-year, $21 million contract he inked with the team back in 2023.

Browns' Juan Thornhill: Suits up for 11 games in 2024
Juan Thornhill racked up 49 tackles (31 solo) and three passes defensed across 11 regular-season appearances with the Cleveland Browns in 2024.Thornhill has been limited to 11 regular-season games in both of his first two seasons with the Browns after having logged 16 or more appearances in all four of his years with the Chiefs from 2019-22. He remains under contract with Cleveland for one more year, but at this point even if healthy, it's not a guarantee that the experienced safety will regain the playmaking ability that previously allowed him to rank as a fringe fantasy asset in IDP formats.
