CLEVELAND — Former Browns safety Jermaine Whitehead has apologized for his alarming postgame social media rant.
Whitehead was cut by Cleveland on Monday after he posted several threatening and profane messages on Twitter following Sunday’s 24-19 loss in Denver.
On his Instagram page, the 26-year-old player said his behavior was “out of character for me” and that he was “deeply regretful.” Whitehead said he was frustrated by the way he played, adding that although he had a broken hand “that is no excuse for my actions.”
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my actions following our game with Denver.
