Tragic: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper Passes Away in Auto Accident One Minute Ago…
The Browns have some difficult decisions ahead of them as they enter the offseason, including possibly parting ways with a number of players who, if released, may give Cleveland some much-needed budget room.
The business of the NFL always takes center stage during the summer, when general managers must make difficult choices in building their roster for the next season.
In the months to come, Browns senior vice president of football operations Andrew Berry will undoubtedly have to make many difficult choices. A primary tool at his disposal will be letting go of players deemed “cap casualties.” A player who gets cut, not necessarily because he isn’t still a productive player, but rather because the team will save money by moving on from him rather than risking his on-field output, is considered a cap casualty.
For Browns supporters, simply including Nick Chubb on this list will undoubtedly cause controversy, but it’s hard to overlook the salary cap relief that would result from moving on from Chubb. In actuality, Amari Cooper, another offensive standout, is the only player who, in the event of his release, might save the team’s salary more than Chubb.
