Browns $9 million player named a top candidate for cap casualty
The Cleveland Browns are facing a salary cap dilemma going into the summer, and it seems unlikely that the current team will make it to training camp without losing a few key players along the road.
On Wednesday, January 17, Spencer German of Sports Illustrated created a ranking of Cleveland’s top four salary cap casualty candidates. Elijah Moore, a wide receiver the organization acquired before the 2023 season, was one of them.
Moore, who was traded from the [New York] Jets to Cleveland in late March, had a mixed season. Almost immediately after the Browns revealed their Elijah Moore package during training camp, he was met with enormous expectations. However, the results on the field just never seemed to materialize.
After giving up their own second round selection to get Moore, [GM Andrew] Berry and team may not be inclined to let go of him. However, Cleveland would avoid a dead cap hit in 2024 and save close to $1.9 million by doing this.
