Fue antes, los boston patriots/newengland era una franquicia minúscula en esa época.
Bueno como se veía venir K.Moore a los Saints como HC.
A ver con que salen, yo subiría a Patullo que ya está en el equipo total no es que Moore hizo magia, hay mucho talento, se maneja sola esta ofensiva.

The Browns cap situation is worse than you think
Entering the 2025 season, the Deshaun Watson contract and repercussions from prior years cap management in trying to work around his contract have the Browns in cap hell.
Right now, the Browns are roughly $34.2M over the league’s $275M cap with no clear avenue out. While pushing to win after trading for Watson, the Browns heavily relied on void years to give them more immediate cap flexibility and the chickens are finally coming home to roost. This year, two players will account for $14M in void year cap hits, but this balloons to ten players and $84.4M in 2026.
Elephant in the room: Deshaun Watson
Watson has two years remaining on his deal with a $72.9M cap hit in 2025 (26.5% of their cap) and 2026 (estimated 24.8%). In addition, 2027 is a void year with a $26.9M cap hit. There is no scenario where he can be cut or traded in 2025 as his dead cap number is $172.8M. It is also incredibly unlikely that he can be cut or traded in 2026 as the Browns would be forced to carry a $99.8M cap hit for Watson to play for another team in the league.
The highest cap hit in NFL history is Russell Wilson who accounted for $53.0 in dead space for Denver this year. Browns fans might consider that a bargain compared to Watson’s nearly $20M increase this year and next. Somehow Dak Prescott will take the crown from Wilson with an absurd $89.9M cap hit.
Myles Garrett’s Trade Request
Tough luck. Myles carries a 2025 cap hit of $19.7M vs a dead cap figure of $36.2M if he is traded. Keeping in mind that the Browns are already well over the cap, there is very little incentive for them to bump that figure up to $50.7M. He may be able to be traded in 2026 as his dead cap number is only a million more than his cap hit would be, but Myles is another Brown with massive void years. His contract carries four void years starting in 2027 with cap hits of: $37.7M, $12.2M, $8.4M, $4.7M.
2025 Dead Money
Cleveland has $39.7M (14.4%) in dead money for 2025, which is the 2nd highest in the NFL only behind the most predictable answer, New Orleans. Amari Cooper ($22.6M) and Za’Darius Smith ($14.2M) take up the vast majority of this figure.
Beyond the dead money set in stone above, teams often alleviate cap stress by cutting players with larger non-guaranteed portions of their contract. Unfortunately for Cleveland, they do not have this luxury. Of the 15 players with a cap hit of $5M or greater, just two have a dead cap number less than their cap hit: Jack Conklin ($19.2M vs $17.7M) and Ethan Pocic ($7.8M vs $6.2M). Cutting both only nets the Browns $3.1M in cap space and, more importantly, locks in five years of void year cap hits.
2026 Cap and the Browns
Spotrac is projecting the league will increase the cap to $294M in 2026 which is in-line with increases over the past few years. Without signing a single player in 2025, the Browns are already in trouble as they have a league leading $285M on the books for 2026 leaving them less than $10M (yes, they do have a full year for cap magic to take place). For context, the Super Bowl champions have nearly $103M in 2026 projected cap space.
Going back to the absurdity of Deshaun’s contract, cutting ties with him results in a cap hit that is comparable to the Raiders entire team (currently $108.1M) on the books for 2026…
2026 Void Years
How do the Browns have such a high 2026 cap figure? Void years. Nearly 30% of their cap space is attributed to ten players with void years totaling $84.4M. Should they extend any of these players, the void year figure is replaced with the new contract. Below is a list of the players with their cap hit and age during the 2026 season.
• David Njoku: $24.3M, 30 years old
• Joel Bitonio: $21.1M, 35 years old
• Juan Thornhill: $9.3M, 31 years old
• Wyatt Teller: $8.5M, 32 years old
• Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: $7.4M, 31 years old
• Ethan Pocic: $4.4M, 31 years old
• Shelby Harris: $3.9M, 35 years old
• Jordan Hicks: $2.0M, 35 years old
• Jedrick Wills: $3.1M (2nd void year)
• Jameis Winston: $0.6M (2nd void year)
Extending Njoku and Bitonio should be a high priority for the team to avoid taking a $45M cap hit for zero production. Whether or not Njoku wants to stay in Cleveland is a different story though.
Total Void Years
Of Cleveland’s top 51 contracts, 19 players have void years attached to the end of their contracts. This includes Dustin Hopkins who at 38 years old will carry a $5.4M void year cap hit against the team in 2028. If that number sounds high, it should. $5.4M would have been the 4th highest kicker cap hit this year. Four years from now it will be lower, but how much?
For context, New Orleans has 21 players with void years. In 2026 ten players carry void years totaling $50.3M.
Offensive Line
If you paid close attention to the void years section, you may have noticed that nearly the entire starting offensive line was included.
• Jedrick Wills’s contract just expired and he now carries four void years ($11.8M, $3.1M, $3.1M, $2.6M). With his injury history and Dawand Jones, Cleveland likely bites the bullet on those void years letting Wills walk.
• Joel Bitonio’s contract expires after this season and carries four void years ($21.1M, $6.5M, $4.5M, $2.1M). Despite his age, the career Brown likely re-signs especially with that unpalatable 2026 number.
• Wyatt Teller’s contract expires after this season and carries three void years ($8.5M, $6.7M, $4.4M). Despite a down year, this should be an obvious re-signing; however, when they do, his 2026 cap hit will very likely increase unless they double down and add void years again.
• Ethan Pocic’s contract expires after this season and carries three void years ($4.4M, $1.8M, $0.8M). From an outsider, this situation feels like a lose-lose. Do you really want to re-sign the 31 year old center that has been declining? On the flip side, losing the cap space in tight years is not ideal either.
Ultimately, regardless of what fans may want to see happen with the line, the Browns are stuck between a rock and a hard place. They are facing the prospect of all five starters contributing significant dead cap unless re-signed:
• 2026 – four of the starting five are gone and void year cap hits total $37.0M
• 2027 – all five former starters are gone and void year cap hits total $21.9M
• 2028 – all five former starters are gone and void year cap hits total $14.0M
TLDR: the Browns are $34M over the cap in 2025 (2nd lowest cap space in the NFL) and have less than $10M available in 2026 (lowest cap space in the NFL). Deshaun Watson and void years seemingly have them in a worse place than New Orleans with very little flexibility.
edit: some Browns fans have correctly pointed out that the void years accelerate and combine into one cap hit vs being spread out over the years listed on OTC/Spotrac. so for the OL breakdown at the end, that would really result in a $67.4M cap hit in 2026 if they leave with $5.5M being tied to Conklin if he leaves after the 2026 season.
edit2: correcting my void year mistake makes the situation worse for Cleveland going forward. Using OTC, below are how the Browns and Saints compare with potential void year cap hits and this is without the Browns restructuring Watson twice to lower his 2025 and 2026 cap hits.
2025: Browns $14.0M Saints $17.5M
2026: Browns $86.4M Saints $63.0M
2027: Browns $111.3M Saints $25.4M
2028: Browns $54.4M Saints $6.3M
In total, the Browns already have $266.2M “deferred” compared to the Saints $112.1M
