Browns signed S Daniel Thomas, formerly of the Lions.

18 March 2026

Thomas got his start in the NFL as a fifth-round pick for the Jags in 2020. He made a few starts on defense in Jacksonville but made his money as a high-volume special teams contributor. Thomas signed with the Lions last year and saw a slight uptick in defense snaps while again playing plenty on special teams. Thomas could continue to see more work on defense as an occasional third safety in Cleveland.
