BREAKING: The Cleveland Browns have made a surprising roster move, cutting wide receiver Jamari Thrash just 24 hours before their crucial game against the Chicago Bears. This decision comes as Thrash, a fifth-round pick from the 2024 NFL Draft, struggled to make an impact in his nearly two seasons in the NFL.
Thrash, aged 24, has only recorded 13 catches on 22 targets for 129 yards across 18 games. His inability to secure a spot in the top four on Cleveland’s wide receiver depth chart led to this urgent decision. The team confirmed the move today, announcing the addition of offensive lineman Garrett Dellinger to the active roster in Thrash’s place.
The timing of this cut is critical, as the Browns prepare to face the Bears, who are currently holding the seventh seed in the NFC and are just half a game behind the Green Bay Packers for the NFC North lead. Thrash’s performance this season has been underwhelming, with his best outing coming in Week 8 against the New England Patriots, where he managed only two catches for 31 yards.
Since rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders took over as the starter in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders, Thrash has not appeared in a game. Sanders has developed a strong connection with other receivers, including Jerry Jeudy (seven catches, 141 yards, one touchdown) and Isaiah Bond (three catches, 76 yards), highlighting the competition Thrash faced within the team.
With the Bears looming, the Browns will need to adjust quickly as they prepare for this pivotal matchup. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how this roster change impacts the team’s performance on the field. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops.
