NFL salary cap: Browns offense tops the league in cap cost

If offense wins championships in the NFL these days, the Cleveland Browns are spending their money on the correct side of the ball. While many will focus on QB Deshaun Watson’s contract, for the 2023 season he doesn’t even lead the offense in size of cap hit much less the entire team.

Currently, DE Myles Garrett has the largest cap charge for the Borwns at just over $29 million. After that, WR Amari Cooper sits at just under $24 million before Watson’s just over $19 million.

After Garrett, seven of the next eight biggest cap hits are on the offensive side of the football:

  • Cooper
  • Watson
  • Wyatt Teller - $15 million
  • Nick Chubb - $14.
