They'd still owe him a cool $25M if they released him.
But the point is that he may not be on the Browns roster come September as they're already rumored to be shopping him.

Like when we traded for Jimmy, his cap hit his first year with us was actually less for the Hawks than it was for the Saints. Going back to Brock, he had a $12 mil signing bonus and $3 mil was paid last year so he has $9 mil left which goes towards the Texans cap as dead money this year.

Didn't they go through 5 QB changes due to injury?
NorthHawk wrote:With the "must have to spend" amount at $100 million, maybe they believe if they are on a youth movement they might get close to being penalized by not spending the minimum so the $16 million is a cushion to avoid penalties.
I don't know much of their cap status other than they have a lot of room, but we also don't know their financial plan for today and the future.
