Based on my roster projections this is for a:
- Wide Receiver
If the Browns added Marvin Harrison Jr in a trade, then it is only $4,010,886 worth of cash for 2026, Brian Thomas Jr is only $2,127,726, so it would be a marginal cost.
- Tight End
Even if they brought back Njoku and paid him well, he would still only take up a small amount of the remaining budget
- Edge Defender
They were likely spending around $4m on AJ Epenesa, so could divert this to another player.
- Linebacker
- Cornerback
- Safety
This is a starting slot corner potentially, a third linebacker and safety, so between the group it would be a shock to cross $5m in total.
They could easily add all of the above and have the money left over to sign either Taylor Decker or Joel Bitonio, so there are plenty of options if they want to have an above average roster around Sanders this year.
