He's only going to account for $10M against the cap this year.

Which means that Cleveland will have to account for the remaining $220M over the next 4 years.
Average cap hit will be $55M.
In reality they will probably push much of it out further, so he could count over $60M against the cap toward the end.

Do they not employ a Capologist in Cleveland? He will be playing with a bunch of nobodies in the last few years of his contract. 

its worse than that - he gets paid 10m but his base is only 1m, which means his game checks are only 60k per game in 2022.  I think the NFL will push his suspension out to 2023 to add real consequences
