The Chiefs won’t have safety Juan Thornhill in their defensive backfield next season.
Thornhill has agreed to terms with the Cleveland Browns on a three-year deal worth up to $21 million, a source familiar with the situation confirmed Wednesday evening with The Star.
Thornhill cashed in after posting career-high figures in multiple statistical categories, including tackles (71), passes defensed (9) and quarterback hits (2). He also recordes his first career sack in 2022 and tied a career high with three interceptions.
The 6-foot, 203-pound Thornhill originally joined the Chiefs in 2019 out of Virginia as a second-round pick. He went to appear in 65 games with 52 starts, totaling 161 tackles, a sack, four quarterback hits, eight interceptions and 20 passes defensed.
While the Chiefs lose a starting safety, they appear to be equipped to deal with it. They used a second-round draft pick last year on safety Bryan Cook, who’s now a plug-and-play option alongside Justin Reid.
Thornhill becomes the fifth member of the Chiefs’ 2022 Super Bowl-winning team to sign with another franchise, joining right tackle Andrew Wylie (Commanders), wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (Patriots), fullback Michael Burton (Broncos) and defensive tackle Khalen Saunders (Saints).
The NFL Network first reported the news on Thornhill.
