Greg Newsome’s 5th-year option cost set for Browns decision this offseason

There could be a lot of moving parts for the Cleveland Browns this offseason with the NFL draft (eight selections) and a very flexible salary cap. What GM Andrew Berry has to work with in free agency changed on Friday with the announcement of a huge bump to the NFL salary cap in 2024.

With Cleveland having 26 pending free agents, a few of which they should try to get signed right away, and some highly paid players, all the space is helpful.

The 2024 salary cap being set also sets the price for the fifth-year option for first-round picks in the 2021 NFL draft including CB Greg Newsome II.
