Cleveland Browns general manager is no stranger to contract restructures, and over the weekend he put his skills to the test, reworking the contract of two new Cleveland Browns players to open up the salary cap with the expectation of more signings to come.
Berry and the Browns restructured newly acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper’s contract, which will save them over $15 in salary cap space this year. How did he do that? By converting most of Cooper's $20 million base salary into a signing bonus and adding two void years on to the contract, as NFL Network's Tom Pelissero first resported.
Between Cooper's restructure and Watson's contract, the two new Browns will only account for roughly a combined $15 hit to the salary cap. Source says that the #Browns have sent an offer to DE Jadeveon Clowney. No word on what a timetable for acceptance would look like, but the numbers in the offer may be larger than originally thought.— Camryn Justice March 19, 2022
