Browns The salary cap thread

OconRecon said:
Great "analytics and the Osweiller trade" article, although I had to google "Grotian moment".

Almost started a new thread, but nah, but it's fantastic read.

The article doesn't exactly say this, but I think this trade will be referred to for decades. #Osweilered

Hilarious how the author pretty respectfully calls out Livingston and Grossi on being to old and grumpy to even open their mind and understand the attempt.

Makes me think, the snarky hot-take super-twitter types are more full of crap than I even realized.

I'll give it to sashimi and company. They aren't doing the same thing anymore and expecting the same results.

This 2nd place stuff will not do! This lack of aggression will not stand!!

Pretty sure the math on this thing is:

High Cap Space + No QB = Less Wins.

Good point. I think we stayed the same, and San Fran added/extended/resigned someone, because they were up close to $70K.

1 Cleveland Browns $63,163,264
2 San Francisco 49ers $61,402,071
3 Jacksonville Jaguars $34,873,809
4 Tennessee Titans $29,040,432
5 New York Jets $21,507,199
6 Indianapolis Colts $19,467,860
7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers $18,487,039
8 Buffalo Bills $12,679,294
9 Cincinnati Bengals $12,666,260
10 Denver Broncos $11,159,728

Browns clearly the most teed up for an epic offseason with that kind of money and our huge pile of early draft picks. Talent influx should be fairly startling.

Maybe if WRs know we're drafting Rosen they'll get interested, especially if we're willing to outbid. We'll have to.
 
Some numbers as we sit here, 8 days away...

So Daryl Ruiter's article today says:

"The Cleveland Browns will enter free agency with the largest amount of salary cap space to play with than any other team in the NFL when the new league year begins on March 13."

"According to salary cap figures from the NFLPA, the Browns will roll over $56 million over into the 2019 league year – nearly $7 million more than the Indianapolis Colts will roll over – and they could project to have upwards of $100 million or more in room for a second straight year."

Saw that. Dorsey says he isn't gonna spend like a drunken sailor and I would hope not. Wants to build and keep a core and that's great.

I'd love to see him lock down 3 high-end impact signings. We don't really need volume. Like Clowney, Jarrett, and Nelson, something like that.
 
Damn. #AndStill

Does anyone know the actual cap space rankings now? I saw us still third, so maybe they were already including rollover. Colts, Jets, Browns.
