The Cleveland Browns have landed their new starting free safety in Juan Thornhill, adding him on a three-year, $21 million deal in NFL free agency. After the failures of John Johnson III, who signed as the top safety on the market two years ago, the Browns corrected their mistake to land a true post safety instead of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
And their fanbase loves the move their franchise just made.
Here are some of the best reactions to the signing of Thornhill, as the city of Cleveland welcomes the two-time Super Bowl champion to FirstEnergy Stadium.
