ESPN guy had a good writeup the other day which broke it down
Paying $72.9 million in 2025 to free up cap space now? Why the Browns restructured Deshaun Watson's megadeal

Conclusion
While $41.4m might seem like a small amount of money to spend, if you are going to look at how the Cleveland Browns have spent in previous years they can easily spend five times this amount because they will backload contracts. So for everyone who is desperate to paint a picture of doom and gloom on where the Cleveland Browns roster stands the truth doesn't seem to match when they can spend up to $200m improving the team this offseason. I don't expect them to spend this much but having the freedom to do it is positive.

Financially, we have, without a doubt, the best owner in the league. Jimmy say "Fuck it, I'll sign any check."

I hate when uninformed fans give the old "we'll be bad until we get a new owner". Well, 2 owners ago took the team and left, and the last owner (owner's son) was way more in to the IPL than the NFL. And neither came close to Haslam's spending, commitment to NE Ohio's high schools and neighborhoods, and he saved the Crew.
It's the fuckin' QB. THAT's what we can't hit on.

Jimmy don't give a fuck. He'll write as big of a check as it takes to field a winner. Honestly, Jimmy may not be the smartest owner in the league, but he's willing to invest billions to win.

That's kind of sad. We're going to spend the most money and be mediocre at best.
