2016 outlook:
Thomas was disgruntled about another losing season and yet another fired head coach. He was unsure about his future as a Brown, but new head coach Hue Jackson was confident Thomas would like the plans set forth for the Browns and, after meeting with Jackson, the nine time Pro Bowler is set on staying in Cleveland.
“Certainly I love the people in Cleveland. It’s my home. I love the city. I love everything about it,” Thomas said. “So I definitely want to be part of the turnaround.”
