No longer are the Cleveland Browns hoarding draft picks and slashing salaries to save cap room. Now they are spending for very high-priced talent like Odell Beckham Jr., Sheldon Richardson, Olivier Vernon. They join emerging stars Baker Mayfield, Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward, and Joe Schobert, plus established stars Jarvis Landry, Joel Bitonio, J. C. Tretter, Damarious Randall and others.
Your humble correspondent has been ripped for pointing out that the Browns are spending at a rate of about 120 percent of the annual cap, and that can not be sustained longer than three years.
