Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox named the Atlanta Falcons a potential suitor for another Cleveland Browns All-Pro edge rusher
are likely to be floated as a landing spot for just about every edge rusher that could be on the trade block.
"Trading him now would actually raise Smith's 2025 cap hit in Cleveland. That's a problem for the Browns, who are projected to be $41 million over the cap," Knox wrote.. "Cleveland is on the hook for Watson's $72.9 million cap hit next season, whether he plays or not, which means saving cap room will be a priority.
Of course, from the Falcons' perspective, how valuable that draft capital needs to be will be the potential holdup in the deal happening.Perhaps the Falcons and Browns can swap draft picks in a deal involving Smith. That way, Atlanta will at least retain the ability to add rookies to their roster next spring.
