The Cleveland Browns have been busy and don’t seem like they will be stopping anytime soon. We still await the team’s official acquisition of QB Deshaun Watson. After a myriad of moves on Saturday including, reportedly, trading QB Case Keenum, signing QB Jacoby Brissett and restructuring the contract of WR Amari Cooper, the Watson deal could officially happen at anytime.
As a part of the trade, the Browns must create enough cap space to add Watson’s current contract with a cap hit around $35 million. Once he is acquired, the team can then sign him to his new deal and save around $25 million in cap space right away.
Trading away QB Baker Mayfield would then free up another almost $19 million. Depending on the official numbers of some of their new additions this offseason, Cleveland’s Andrew Berry could have a good amount of space to work with.
