It has been a good couple of days for the Cleveland Browns in terms of adding cap space. After their post-June first cuts of John Johnson and Jadeveon Clowney, the team added over $10 million in cap space. That trend continued on Monday when the team released veteran offensive lineman Joe Haeg a move that adds $2 million more to the available cap space.
Haeg had been with the Browns since September 2022 but didn’t see much action with the team after being placed on Cleveland’s injured reserve the following month.
Some believe that the added salary cap room could lead to a pursuit of superstar wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Cleveland seems to be the front-runner to sign Hopkins right now but this move will likely only serve to create more flexibility for Cleveland as the team moves into the home stretch of the offseason.
