BAREA – Browns draft picks DE Chad Thomas and WR Antonio Callaway signed their four-year rookie contracts on Tuesday. That leaves only first-round picks Baker Mayfield and Denzel Ward, along with second-rounder Nick Chubb as the final three of nine total picks to sign.
Cleveland used the the 67th overall pick in last months draft to select Thomas out of Miami. Spotrac estimates Thomas’ 2018 salary around $744K, based on the rookie pay scale. That figure would count towards the rule of 51, which allows teams to remain under the cap during the offseason by only accounting for the top 51 salaries on the roster.
