The Cleveland Browns, for all of the talk that surrounds their salary cap and the contract of quarterback Deshaun Watson, have not found themselves in money trouble since making the trade. And that has not changed after the 2024 NFL draft either.
That is a testament to general manager Andrew Berry and his team as they have found ways to keep the books balanced while continuously adding talent to the roster as well. It also helps they have an owner in Jimmy Haslam who has been willing to front money to convert salary to bonuses in contract restructures as well.
With a playoff roster, and with the young players to look to keep their roster competitive for years to come, where do the Browns sit in terms of cap space entering the 2024 season? Here’s a look at where the Browns stand among the rest of their AFC North rivals and the rest of the NFL in cap space after the 2024 NFL draft, per the numbers at Over the Cap.
