Juan Thornhill Fantasy

The Cleveland Browns have signed free-agent safety Juan Thornhill on Wednesday. The two sides have agreed to a three-year, $21 million contract. The 27-year-old leaves the Kansas City Chiefs after being a reliable contributor for the past four seasons. Thornhill is a proven playmaker and a useful option against the run. This isn't the most flashy signing in free agency, but certainly a smart move by the Browns. Thornhill will be an upgrade to this Browns secondary heading into 2023.

Kansas City Chiefs safety Juan Thornhill is healthy for perhaps the first time since he tore the ACL in his left knee as a rookie in 2019, and he was impressive during offseason workouts. With Tyrann Mathieu now gone, the Chiefs will ask Thornhill to take on a bigger role in their secondary. "I'm committed to doing that," Thornhill said. Those are big shoes to fill, but the 26-year-old from Virginia is up to the task after producing a career-high 64 tackles (43 solo), one interception, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 17 games (12 starts) in his third season with KC in 2021. Thornhill has 163 total tackles (118) in his three NFL seasons, and he could easily force his way onto the IDP radar in a bigger role this year.
