The Browns have 26 players set to go on the market this offseason, but Cleveland faces financial challenges, forcing some to leave.
The Browns have a complete list of pending free agents before proceeding.
The Browns are projected to be $13.866 million over the salary cap, with the largest cap hit in NFL history being $63.977 million for Deshaun Watson. Other well-paid players on the Cleveland roster include Amari Cooper, Denzel Ward, and Myles Garrett.
Berry plans to restructure Watson’s contract again this year to free up space, but the Browns will still face challenges in free agency, including retaining players and bringing in new talent. Cap casualties, such as running back Nick Chubb, could free up over $11 million if cut.
Elijah Moore and kicker Dustin Hopkins may face injuries during the offseason, according to Luke Norris, a sports writer and editor for Heavy.com, who also covers golf and sports for various publications.
