The Browns are done with Jermaine Whitehead. On Sunday, Whitehead went on a Twitter tirade that resulted in his banishment from the platform. On Monday morning, the Browns released the safety, per a club announcement.

The Browns, who previously said the rant was “totally unacceptable and highly inappropriate” cut him loose with a terse statement that was way under 280 characters. Whitehead will now be subject to the NFL’s waiver wire, but it remains to be seen whether any club will want to take a gamble on him at this time.
Whitehead on played every snap of the Brown’s 24-19 loss to the Broncos but did not record a single stop. When he was heckled for his performance, Whitehead responded poorly, and the Browns responded by dropping him from the roster.
Whitehead, a second-year pro, leaves the Browns after 41 tackles across eight games (all starts) in 2019. For his career, Whitehead has 34 appearances to his credit, including ten starts.
Cowboys will snag him
I mean OBJ pretty much said Baker Mayfield sucks so seems to be a theme in Cleveland.
Why so vague?? He directed death threats at individuals while using “racist” language (Cracket).
That’s not racist but go off
Cracker is a racial slur…
If your an over sensitive pansy then yes. If your offended by a word then the issues go deeper than that.
It is a racist slur. It doesnt hold the power that the N word does obviously (and never will have the same power), but it’s very much intended to be the white version.
Not only does it hold less power than the N word, it doesn’t hold any power.
I see so only certain people are allowed to experience racism.
That’s the world we live in today. Do as I say, not as I do. And nobody should be offended about what I say, but I can be offended by what u say. Everyone just has to grow up and look at this country and see that yeah there are issues but pick a better country. And if u can, why not go there instead of staying here complaining about every single thing. If ur a pro athlete then u have to be able to take criticism. If u can’t, it’s amazing u got as far as u did. As for this fool in particular, u are terrible at your job. Go away and I hope u properly invested al the money u earned playing a sport, instead of burning through it all on parties, clubs, and women.
I personally am not offended by it, but whether you like it or not, it is a racial slur..
Agreed.
It sure is unless you’re doing the mental gymnastics necessary to justify some nasty behavior and condemning other nasty behavior. If you can’t be consistent then you don’t really care about anything but your own personal gain.
Cracker is racist. While it clearly doesn’t have the legacy of hatred that the n-word does, anybody who feels that they can use that word freely while representing their professional organization should expect discipline. Pair it with some death threats and it isn’t a good look.
Im a cracker and im not offended. Cracker cracker cracker cracker
When I’m it comes to the worse word and you won’t say one of them, that’s the worse word!-John Mulaney
Anyone know if he was a kneeler? Would
Be great if he was lol
What does that have to do with anything
A lot.
Oh buck buck buckaroo.
You need to know if he gives oral? Strange…

Sadly, my Browns have a long way to go…….and it starts with getting rid of other particular players. Read between the lines…..
The HC is the root of the problem. Freddy Kitchens is a disaster. The team is never ready to play. Always sloppy and undisciplined. He is incompetent. That incompetence breeds frustration from players and anarchy.
Last year’s genius is this year’s fool.
R you referring to Nagy ??
Seems very much the same.
Spot on. Time for him to go.
Good proof reading. Whitehead on played hey (insert facepalm emoji)
Maybe the Browns can bring back Hue Jackson as a ‘social media’ coach…lol.
49ers? Kwon Alexander is out for the year. May be worth taking a look at Whitehead
As a Browns fan, he’s not worth it. His social media outburst notwithstanding, he just hasn’t played too well. I don’t know what the advanced metrics say, but he’s not a great tackler and he doesn’t even take the best routes to the ball to begin with.
Snowflakes offended by cracker. Geez. Heaven forbid Whitehead told him to go back the craphole place he came from like our dear leader in DC.
He responded poorly! understatement of the year!
Lol he threatened to shoot one guy and the guy replied he’d probably miss
Love it lol
