Browns salary cap implications of trading DE Myles Garrett to Rams

[ASFN Admin]

There are pieces to be picked up after the Cleveland Brownsdealt All-World superstar and defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams.

While the Browns get a young Pro Bowl pass rusher with a bright future back, along with three draft picks, it is a hard pill to swallow to deal a future first ballot Hall of Famer in the prime of his career. And now, one of the pieces that needs figured out is the salary cap implications of the move.

Luckily for the Browns, their contract extension with Garrett and how they structured his deal made him more tradeable without taking a massive hit post-June 1. Keep in mind, that any dead money accelerates into a two year window, combining in the second year of that window. All things considered, the amount of dead money from guarantees in his contract extension are not too shabby.

So, what is the salary cap standing for the Browns after trading Garrett? We've got you covered.
