When you’re an NFL safety who just got dusted for four quarters and the fans are on you, you probably should not get on twitter. For example, that’s what Jermaine Whitehead of the Cleveland Browns did Sunday night after the Browns lost to the Denver Broncos.
Now, the only thing left to do is get on Instagram; since his twitter account is suspended. With that being said, Whitehead is not on Instagram posting an apology for threatening to kill media member Dustin Fox or the fans. He just wants to apologize for the poor performance during the game on Sunday.

Here is what Whitehead said as far as an apology. However, this was an apology for his poor performance, not the tweets he released after the game that got his account suspended.
“Crazy world. They line it up and say anything in the book too you,” he said in the caption of a photo of himself walking outside with a suitcase in his right hand and a cast on the left one. “They tell you take the high road, when yo whole life you was taught to meet fire with fire. I do apologize for my performance, but having a broke hand and a strong fear of letting my team down is my downfall. Whatever happens happens. Ain trippin. They probably gone still talk crazy but this me getting smoke off my chest. I don’t need one like.. this from me to me! Keep ya head up homie, can’t nobody f— with you. I dare em to try.”
Remember, Denver Broncos’ tight end Noah Fant ran over Whitehead on the way to a 75-yard touchdown reception. Whitehead also had a few missed tackles which had fans chirping at his account. Equally important, Whitehead probably isn’t paying an intern to look at and answer his tweets like some of the more prominent athletes. Therefore, Whitehead is just apologizing for getting run over by a Broncos’ tight end.
Obviously, the Cleveland Browns offered a statement in response to Whitehead’s initial tweets that threatened media member Dustin Fox as well as some fans.
“Jermaine Whitehead’s social media posts following today’s game were totally unacceptable and highly inappropriate,” a Browns spokesperson said. “We immediately spoke with Jermaine upon learning of these comments. The Browns in no way condone that type of language or behavior. This matter will be further addressed internally.”
It’s possible that Whitehead has played his final game as a Cleveland Brown. However with the Browns, you never really know.
UPDATE: Indeed, Whitehead was waived early Monday.

So that as they say; is that.
