NO ONE is interested in trading for Barker. No one. That means the Cleveland is stuck with him. And LOL at some Browns fans that I saw saying that they'd get at least one of those 1sts for Watson back in a Mayfield trade. Cleveland is stuck with his salary, but more importantly, they are also stuck with his cap hit.
If another team trades for Barker, they'd have to take on his cap hit of $18M. Teams are looking at him and saying that they're not giving up picks AND taking on that much cap space.
So Cleveland is going to be stuck either taking on a portion of that cap hit as an enticement for a trade, cutting him outright and taking on the whole $18M this year, or keeping him on the roster along with the huge distraction that it will cause.
Also, $18M is significant (he's got the biggest cap charge on the team this year) because they're trying to work out a long term deal with Njoku and less cap space gives them less flexibility in offering him a contract.
Lol, this has the stank of Cleveland all over it.
It's a hilarious shit show but is the 18M cap hit that big of a deal with how low Watson's salary is this year?
