That's a damn football player

GOAT Thomas !! he threw me a footbal in about 2008 when iu had 50 yard line seats and was up at the fence at the bottok of the stairs at pregame and he saw me have his jersey and came over and tossed mea football that i still have mounted in my browns shelf !!!! greatest lineman in Cleveland and NFL history, best 10 year tenure anyone ever had at left tackle ! witch is the hardest postion in football only behind the QB and his job is the #1 protecter of the QB, least sacks ever given up in as many snaps ! and most snaps in a row ever playedd ! never will be broken ! this MAN IS BUILT DIFFRRENNTT !!!!!!!!!!! city of Cleveland loves you joe !!!!

We love you joe !!!! Well deserved

Well, you can count on me to forever be a fan yours , Joe Thomas.

Lebron, Jim Brown, Joe Thomas Thats what u call Cleveland

Thank you for being loyal to us!

Who's cutting onions? Congrats Joe, Legend!

BEST OL EVER AND A GREAT GUY!!! HOPE SOME OTHERS STEP UP TO BE THE ROLE MODEL THIS GENTLEMAN IS.

Not a more deserving player. When we had NOTHING, we had Joe. Best OT in NFL history. The epitome of who you wanted protecting your QB. Sad that Joe couldn’t protect a guy like Watson. Somebody worth him sacrificing his body for.

Congrats Joe, well deserved. And thank you for all your years in Cleveland when you didn't have to put up with that crap. We the fans really appreciate you

Must have gotten something in my eyes, weird....Well deserved Joe!!!!

Only one thing left to do and that's to retire #73 and place it up amongst the rest of the Browns greatest.

Wish he could have seen more success

Now time for cribbs

Thanks for all you did for a crappy organization joe!
