Swapping Caps

When teams sign free agents, it is often at the expense of other players.

Two days after the Browns signed edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney, they released DT Sheldon Richardson. He appeared in all 32 games during his time in Cleveland, but they saved $11 million in cap space by cutting him.

Clowney's one year deal was structured in such a way that his cap number for 2021 is only $3.87 million.

Both players are great examples of first round picks who ended up bouncing around the league.
