Good article that explains Browns plan

Can only hope it works.......Idea some of our fans (not here) complain about having cap room is comical.

How Are The Browns Leading the League in Cap Space Despite Paying Out So Much in Salaries?

Cap space is an overrated thing, if a team wants a free agent badly enough at their price they will get him no matter how much cap room they have? Bad teams use it as an excuse to why they can't do this or that.

Most bad teams have cap space because they don't spend enough to be good. The Browns have cap space because they didn't spend when they were bad and now with the carryover can use it when they think they can win.

This is a specific market of SI. Devoted only to the Browns. Plus, it's not like they have a lot to write about right now.

I rather read an article about how overrated Kosar was .

Lots of cap space usually means you have had a long period of poor drafting.

Majority of a team's cap space goes to resign their own drafted players that produced and if you have a lot of cap space it usually means you don't have a lot of guys worth resigning.

It's overrated, but the Browns did set themselves up nicely even if they have up to this point not capitalized on a very solid foundation in terms of core talent from the Sashi years. How they handled the cap is worth talking about, imo. It is impressive even if it hasn't gotten playoff wins for them as of yet.

Yeah and this cap space won't be for long if their top players continue to improve and demand top $$ in the next couple years. Most are at key positions as well.

QB - Mayfield - $35M+/year
RB - Chubb - $15M/year
CB - Ward - A lot?

That is a lot of money in three players but they have set up the future nicely with this cap space.

Already paid up on OBJ, Landry, Hooper and OL and now Garrett but OBJ might want a restructured contract with a higher salary.

I've already read it, though I know it will need a new chapter soon.

Come on man! If you're gonna do that you have to have the updated list. Your list left off Campbell, Hoyer, Johnny Outta Football, Shaw, McCown, Davis, Kessel, RG III, Kizer, Hogan and Taylor.

The Browns Plan is to continue to trade/draft the best talent, and then coach 'em down.

Dont forget Mayfield

He's a jackass. But I haven't given up on him yet. I don't care what the QB's name is it's not a good thing when a QB entering his 3rd year is already on his 4th coach (Jackson, Williams, Kithens & Stefanski) and 4th system. Jimmy Haslam is an incompetent clown.

I was also jking, I have a lot higher of an opinion on Mayfield than most.

THAT'S it.... we've had murder hornets, COVID-19, riots/protests, political turmoil... it's not going to be Yellowstone or a nuclear war that caps off the absolute shit show that was 2020... it's going to be that the Browns have a 'plan' and it actually works.

I'm sure Aliens from like 30 galaxies looking to invade us en route will all comm with each other and be like, "Fuck this, you guys just wanna go home and get high?"
