We certainly understand and respect this tremendous gesture.
Thomas is one of the greatest Browns in history. The response to his retirement was also overwhelmingly supportive.
Thomas will certainly have options in retirement. But it’s certainly nice for him to know that if he wants to remain with Cleveland in some capacity, the door will be wide open for that.
