The team announced on Monday that they have claimed veteran defensive back Tedric Thompson from the Kansas City Chiefs via waivers. The Chiefs decided to waive Thompson last week.

During his time in Kansas City, Thompson played in eight games and had 13 tackles.

The loss of Harrison represents a tough blow for the Browns after he emerged as a surprising playmaker on defense for the team. The 23-year-old player made six starts in the 10 games he played in 2020 and had 32 tackles, six pass deflections, one sack, one interception, and one defensive touchdown.

While Tedric Thompson can hardly replicate Harrison’s impact, the veteran still represents a good pickup for Cleveland. He can play both free safety and strong safety and has shown in the past that he can make some good plays when given a chance. This was especially the case last season, when he impressed many during his brief minutes playing for the Seattle Seahawks.

Thompson started six games for Seattle in 2019 but still managed to get two interceptions, two passes defended, and 19 tackles.

Thompson spent the 2019 season with Seattle Seahawks, starting six games and contributing with 18 tackles and two interceptions. He spent the last two months of the year on an injured reserve with a shoulder injury before being released by Seattle in March.

The deal was confirmed by Thompson’s agency DEC Management although the terms remained undisclosed.

Chiefs are considered relatively deep on the position, having All-Pro Tyrann Mathieu as a projected starting safety with rookie L’Jarius Sneed and veterans Juan Thornhill and Daniel Sorensen backing him up. However, Thornhill’s ACL injury in 2019 and Sneed’s inexperience played a part in the team deciding to add another veteran option as they prepared to defend the Super Bowl title in 2020.

Tedric Thompson was drafted by Seahawks in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. After a limited number of snaps in his rookie year, Thomson received more prominent time in 2018, starting 10 games as a free safety. This led to him having 57 tackles, one interceptions, one forced fumble and three pass deflection.

By cutting Thompson and Dickson, Seahawks managed to free up around $5 million in cap space. This might prove beneficial in their attempt to re-sign defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.

Thompson made two interceptions and had 19 tackles in 2019 at the strong safety, but was limited to just six games due to a shoulder injury. Seahawks are covered at his position after adding Quandre Diggs last season, so Thompson being cut doesn’t come as a surprise.

Dickson was also on the chopping block, considering the crowded TE room Seattle will have this upcoming season. The 32-year-old spent the entire 2019 season on the injured reserve list.

In the meantime, Seahawks signed veteran Greg Olsen, while also resigning Jacob Hollister and Luke Wilson. The team will also have Will Dissly, their fourth-round pick from 2018, at their disposal after he missed the better part of 2019 with a torn Achilles.
