Question: What Are The Browns Going To Spend $31 Million On?

With the release of Jake Delhomme, the Browns are now more than $35 million under the salary cap of approximately $120 million for this season.  The new CBA will require teams to spend 99% of the salary cap this year, with the deadline for that spending towards the end of the season.  That number is a bit misleading because the 99% refers to the league as a whole.  The lowest percentage any single team can spend is 89%.  Applying that to the Browns would result in spending $31 million at minimum.
