Cleveland general manager Andrew Berry indicated the team may consider restructuring the five-year, $230 million deal to clear salary cap space.
CLEVELAND — The record-setting contract Deshaun Watson received from the Browns could undergo some revising.
The Browns are approximately $14 million over the salary cap and need to get under it if they intend to be active in free agency, which opens on March 15. “The rules are flexible, whether it’s releasing a player, trading a player, restructuring a deal, negotiating an extension,” Berry said. “There are a number of different avenues to create cap space. The approach we would take would really be dictated by the opportunities in front of us. One of our tenants is flexibility. We have enough flexibility to be as aggressive or conservative as we need to be.
