Wide receivers Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry are expected to have the Browns’ two biggest achievements during the 2021 season, and coach Kevin Stefanski sees no reason why this should disrupt the two players.
The salary cap is shrinking for the next season and the two starts represent about 15 percent of the projected number, but the Browns should have cap space and Stefanski said on ESPN Radio this week that he feels the team can do what it needs to do that. out of season with no moves involving any of the players.
“I think we can,” said Stefanski, via Cleveland.com. “I don’t think you want to be so dogmatic about it and say, ‘Okay. We need to have that number of receivers and that number of tight ends and that running back. ‘I think you go with what you have and make sure you are putting yourself in a position to pitch a competitive list for many years ahead. So, yes, I think we are in a good situation. The easy part to say is, ‘Hey, just give us more players. Give us three more great players on the offensive side, and give us three players on the defensive side, and we are going to spend that amount on each guy. ‘I think we have a plan. We will continue with this plan. “
Beckham’s salary is guaranteed for injuries and he is leaving an ACL, so they would have to change it to make any savings. Cutting Landry would free up more than $ 11.7 million in space, but general manager Andrew Berry seemed no more inclined to follow that path than Stefanski when asked about Landry during last week’s press conference.
