The Cleveland Browns, while they are about middle of the road in cap space in 2023, are actively spending the most money in the NFL. Going back to the rollover cap, the Browns brought over a league-leading $27.5 million in funds not spent in 2022. This has allowed general manager Andrew Berry to have a bigger allowance to splurge on this offseason as the Browns push all of their chips into the center of the table.
Active spending is defined by how much a team is spending on items that count against the cap for players that are currently on the team. So while the Browns are also paying out over $16 million in dead money this season, that number is not included in the active spending figure.
