The Browns cleared a bunch of cap space after a restructure of Myles Garrett's contract. They have the most cap space in the NFL this season. I assumed a RB was on the way at very least, but I haven't heard anything at all about anything.

Projected to be 45m over the cap next year. The 35 can be rolled over. That plus a raise on the level means they'll only have to mitigate 5-7 mil.

Unless there is a trade deadline target they have in mind that could put this team over the top, I don't see additional bodies being brought in.

(Reserve the right to change my mind based on how Jed is playing by week 6)

As to the big chunks of money, you're most likely right here... I think they weren't expecting the Josh Dobbs trade and obvs we will see how all the cuts play out but there's at least a couple/few million in "found money" that might give them some flexibility without denting their cap strategy too much.

Internet craziness for Browns...
read where still possible for Browns to keep York on practice team; I wanted them to get Dawson back...
not many see sense of releasing Dunn but others think they're after Bears Leatherwood
Browns gotta be feeling giddy after seeing Dawand and Hickman; I think Wypler wins a spot too; Togiai on the bubble; doubtful McAllister

Ceiling and floor for all 32 NFL teams: Chiefs, Eagles, Bengals have Super Bowl dreams, many set to surprise

How far can each team go in 2023? What's the worst that can happen?

Cleveland Browns (2022 record: 7-10)​

Ceiling: 11-6, win AFC North

This might be the biggest wild card in the AFC. Deshaun Watson gets a full offseason and will be available for the full year. Will Watson return to his Houston Texans form or has a full year off and 11 missed games due to suspension hindered his ability to be a franchise quarterback? Adding Elijah Moore bolsters the passing game, but the big acquisition for Cleveland was signing Za'Darius Smith to help out Myles Garrett in getting to the quarterback. The Browns don't have many weakness on a talented roster, so it comes down to Watson. They're a threat to win the AFC North.

Floor: 8-9, miss playoffs

If Watson isn't that franchise quarterback Cleveland envisioned, the Browns are going to have to answer a lot of questions this offseason. Kevin Stefanski is under pressure to win this season after missing the playoffs two years in a row. The Browns have questions behind Nick Chubb at running back, but are good at a lot of positions. The pass rush should be elite and the defense is built to be a top-10 unit under Jim Schwartz. Again, this season falls on how good Watson is. This division is also very tough.
