Inks deal with Pittsburgh
The Steelers are signing Thornhill to a one-year deal, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran safety from Virginia was designated a post-June 1 cut by the Browns in late February but will now remain in the AFC North after signing with the Steelers on Monday. Thornhill appeared in 22 games over his last two seasons in Cleveland, recording 103 total tackles and four passes defended. Now in Pittsburgh, the 29-year-old is expected to compete with DeShon Elliott for a starting safety position alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Thornhill played hurt and had a subpar campaign in 2023, his first with Cleveland. He was seen as important addition - a playoff-experienced safety while with Kansas City that could improve the team's defense - and the Browns still feel the same way about the 28-year-old. One good thing to come out of his health issues is that back-end partner Grant Delpit took a leap while D'Anthony Bell and Ronnie Hickman proved to be capable. A healthy Thornhill will return as a starter and look to reclaim the playmaking ability that enticed the Browns into signing him in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Predicting All-Pro campaign
Thornhill feels fully healthy this offseason for the first time since his rookie year and thinks he's ready to fill the shoes of Tyrann Mathieu in the Kansas City secondary, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The safety is heading into the final year of his rookie contract, and while he has yet to miss a regular-season game in his career, Thornhill has played through numerous minor injuries. With Mathieu now in New Orleans, Thornhill has a chance to emerge from his shadow and predicts he'll be able to put up numbers worthy of a berth on the All-Pro team.
