Cleveland Browns waive Jermaine Whitehead after threatening posts

The Cleveland Browns have waived Jermaine Whitehead the morning after the team condemned the safety's profanity-laced and threatening social media comments.

Broncos tight end Noah Fant ran over Whitehead on the way to a 75-yard touchdown reception. That, and a missed tackle on another big Denver play, drew criticism of Whitehead on social media. Shortly after the game ended, Whitehead responded on Twitter, including to Dustin Fox, who appears on a postgame show for the Browns' radio network.

Whitehead's Twitter account was suspended before he had even left the visiting locker room.
