Who is Chad Thomas?

Chad Thomas is an American football defensive end for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at the University of Miami, and was drafted by the Dolphins in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

A brief overview of his career

Originally from Miami, Florida, Chad Thomas played collegiate football at the University of Miami, where he was a three-time All-American and helped the Hurricanes win the 2001 National Championship. After college, he was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He played for the Browns for two seasons before being released in 2020. He is currently a free agent.

Why was he released from the Browns?

Chad Thomas was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He was released by the Browns on September 1, 2019.

Speculation about the reasons

The Browns released Thomas in April 2020, shortly after signing veteran edge rusher Adrian Clayborn. Clayborn’s signing pushed Thomas down the depth chart, and with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic causing the cancellation of offseason activities, the Browns decided to release Thomas.

There was speculation that the Browns were not happy with Thomas’ development and that they felt he was not progressing as quickly as they had hoped. However, there was no concrete evidence to support this claim and it remains conjecture.

It’s also possible that the Browns simply decided that Thomas was not part of their long-term plans and that they would rather give him a chance to catch on with another team than keep him buried on the depth chart. Again, this is speculation and we cannot know for sure what the Browns’ thinking was.

Whatever the reason for his release, Thomas is now a free agent and will have to try to catch on with another team if he wants to continue his NFL career.

Is he still in the NFL?

It is currently unknown if he is still in the NFL.
