Perrion Winfrey was released by the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday morning after police launched an investigation into allegations he threatened a woman while possessing a firearm.

The defensive tackle was a fourth-round pick in 2022, appearing in 13 games and recording 22 tackles.

Two women reported encountering Winfrey in a hotel lobby on Tuesday night, alleging he responded to them shouting an insult with a threat and showing he was in possession of a gun.

The police report states Winfrey was not on the scene when officers arrived but the women claiming to know the 22-year-old said they recorded part of the encounter with cell phones.
