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.
