They cut a ton of the players who had been around for a bit, got rid of some other players, saved up their FA $, and stocked up a mountain of draft picks (I think they have two full drafts worth in 2017).
They drafted 14 people in the 2016 draft.
It's pretty clear Cleveland just burnt everything to the ground and are rebuilding from scratch. They'll suck this year, get a QB with the 1st or 2nd pick overall, and then use the rest of their bajillion picks on other folk and augment their roster with all that cap space $ they'll roll over.
Understand what they're doing, and it's actually not a half bad plan for the Browns.
Remember, once these 14 draft picks a yeas rookie contract's are up they are going to scramble to fit their deals under the cap and resign their guys. Combine our 2010 and 2011 drafts and scramble to fit everyone under the cap in 2014
