2026 Cleveland Browns Mock Off-Season

Cap Compliancy & Cutting Watson How can this team cut Deshaun Watson this off-season and still be cap compliant? Well, it isn't pretty, but here's one realistic scenario that would do the job. The effective cap space of the Cleveland Browns is -$50,699,099 at this point in the season.

In this mock iteration, the primary goal is to get the offense as rookie-QB friendly as possible. I believe that the offense needs to be top priority, and then I will leave over $100 million in projected cap space for 2027 to buy a defense and any remaining needed pieces for the offense. The opportune window to ...
