The Browns will attempt to re-sign two key players—wide receiver Jarvis Landry and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney—after restructuring Amari Cooper’s contract, according to Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot.
Cleveland restructured Cooper’s contract to clear $15 million in cap space by converting most of the former Cowboys receiver’s $20 million in salary to a signing bonus and adding two voidable years. This allows the Browns the possibility of retaining their two star players.
The Browns released Landry last week and gave him permission to seek a trade, per Cabot. But with Cooper and the recent trade for Deshaun Watson at quarterback, Landry—a five-time Pro Bowler—reportedly wants to remain in Cleveland with hopes of winning a Super Bowl.
