Browns Insurance: $88 mil in cap credits, over 5 years, for Watson's injuries

[OconRecon]

Thus, Watson's 5-yr, $230mil deal has been pared down to a 5-yr 141.3mil deal.

Approx 28mil/yr, in the end.

Is this a credit applied to the current salary cap?

Ok.
If I have this right the NFL is spreading out the salary cap reduction over years, but there are a few years that have two figures.
I don't follow.

What are the 2 credits per year for? The base salary and the bonus I'm assuming?

Somebody is going to have to explain their/the math as to how we're afforded 65 mil in cap space next year.
Is that in addition to the league wide salary cap or in combination with expiring contracts or possibly some other math? Idk.

According to what I see a 16.773 mil extra spending allowance in 2027 is using the two figures given. 8.755 and 8.018.
Is this above and over whatever the 2027 cap is?

4.951 mil and 7.992 mil are given for this current year 2026 for a total of 12.943 in space. How is this applied and allocated idk.

Where's the Brit when you need him?!!

Duffin says not so fast, as they may be wrong. Likely bad math by PFT.
It's likely 10's of millions, but not near 90m.
He's waiting for the official numbers.

 

[OconRecon]

Looks like the number is being debunked by multiple sources ....

Believe nothing of what you hear.

It would be nice for some relief

I just long for the day he is no longer on the team... It can't happen fast enough...

 

[jaydog]

I thought the cap relief was only money returned to the Haslam's personal account and the cap is separate, but what do I know?
