The Cleveland Browns cut Whitehead loose Monday morning, a response to the safety’s postgame social media tirade following a 24-19 loss to the Denver Broncos where he singled out critics and offered profanity-laced threats.
Whitehead started and played every snap Sunday, but did not record a tackle. He missed badly on Noah Fant’s 75-yard touchdown and that, among other plays, ignited his social media critics.
