Browns Turn $4M Of Jack Conklin’s $12M Salary Into Incentives, Guarantee The Rest, To Create Cap Space

The Cleveland Browns made great strides in turnover over their offensive line in a short period of a few years not long ago. That transformation, of course, came at a hefty sum, in 2020 seeing them use a high first-round draft pick on a left tackle and paying top dollar for a right tackle in the unrestricted free agency market.

That right tackle would be Jack Conklin, who signed a three-year, $42 million contract, which including $30 million guaranteed—a $9 million signing bonus and his full 2020 and 2021 base salaries. He entered the 2022 season due to make $12 million.
